In their last five games, they have endured a tough time with scoring and have gone 2-3 in total and just 1-4 against the spread. In their last outing on July 28, they lost 4-8 against the Brewers, covering the spread of -1.5 but going OVER on the total score.

The high-scoring trends continued in four of their last five being an OVER.

Milwaukee Brewers

They have had an exciting time during their past five games in which they won three games and lost two overall and just two against the spread. Their first victory on July 28 was over the Cubs, where they had an impressive score of 8-4, covering the +1.5 run line while also hitting the OVER. Prior to that, they took one of three from the Marlins, failing to cover in all three despite a narrow 3-2 win on July 27. Using that performance, they most recently dominated Seattle in a 10-2 beating at home on July 23; very easily covering the -1.5 and cashing the OVER.

Team Head-to-Head Matchup

The Chicago Cubs against the Milwaukee Brewers form a stiff competition. The two clubs produced offensive stats that were neck and neck. The Cubs square off against an average of 3.80 runs per game while the Brewers trail by average with 3.70. Milwaukee has an edge in hits (7.8 to 6.8), walks (3.6 to 3.1), and strikeouts (7.0 to 9.5) indicating that the team was good at being patient at the plate. Both clubs enjoy a 4-6 Over Under record, and their record reflects the low-scoring affairs they had.
