Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago entered this series on a rough run of form that had seen them lose nine of their previous 12 games.

The Cubs’ poor sequence started in Atlanta as they suffered back-to-back defeats to the Braves, losing 2-0 and 7-0.

They avoided being swept by taking the final meeting 7-1, only to then lose 5-4 and 9-3 at home to Pittsburgh before winning the third game, 1-0.

Again Chicago failed to back up a win as they lost the final matchup in that series 3-2, and they then failed to build on a series-opening 4-3 win over Atlanta.

The Cubs lost the next two meetings 9-2 and 3-0, before dropping both of their games in St Louis, 7-6 and 4-3.

Milwaukee Brewers Form

Milwaukee entered this series on an inconsistent run of form, having gone 6-7 in their last 13 games.

The Brewers failed to complete a sweep of St Louis, losing the final meeting 4-3, and then dropped the series-opener against Pittsburgh 8-6.

They rebounded to win the next two meetings, 4-3 and 10-2, before heading to Houston where they sandwiched a 4-2 victory with 5-4 and 9-4 defeats.

Milwaukee them moved on to Miami and suffered a similar fate, losing 4-2 and 1-0 either side of a 7-5 defeat to the Marlins.

The Brewers made a much better start to their series in Boston though, winning 7-2 and 6-3, but they missed out on a series sweep as they lost the final game against the Red Sox, 5-1.

Verdict

Shota Imanaga has been in devastating form for Chicago this season, so we are riding with the Cubs in this one.
