Keegan Thompson was one of the few bright spots for the rebuilding Chicago Cubs going into the All-Star Break. He has since owned a 4.66 ERA, and his peripherals are not nearly as encouraging as they once were.
However, on Friday afternoon, the Cubs will host the Milwaukee Brewers in a division rivalry game in a classic Wrigley Field matinee. The Brewers have not hit right-handers well, which should play into the hands of Cubs pitching and Thompson.
Meanwhile, Aaron Ashby will start for the Brewers. He owns a 3.22 ERA in the second half, after displaying some early-season issues. His Average Exit Velocity and Hard Hit Percentage both rank in the top-32% of the MLB, and the Cubs have had issues with southpaws this month. Expect him to limit Chicago early on and hand it to the Milwaukee bullpen after a quality start.
Let’s take a look at how that could impact the over/under and which side has value in the matchup.
