The surging Chicago Cubs will look to keep their hot play alive as they host the divisional-rival Milwaukee Brewers on Friday afternoon. Chicago has won three in a row, while Milwaukee has split its last 10 games. First pitch is set for 2:20 p.m. ET. Milwaukee is listed as a -140 favorite (risk $140 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Cubs vs. Brewers odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total runs scored is 10 (see up-to-date'odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).
Before making any Cubs vs. Brewers pick s, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is a 300-260 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows Milwaukee will trot Aaron Ashby out to the mound and he's coming off a strong performance against the Cardinals, despite not getting a decision. He allowed just two earned runs over six innings on Sunday, while striking out five. Ashby was also dazzling in his last start versus the Cubs in late May. He struck out a career-high of 12 batters while allowing one run across six innings.' ' '
