The Milwaukee Brewers are -170 favorites to extend their winning streak to six games.

With another massive starting pitching advantage, my Cubs vs. Brewers predictions and MLB picks are backing Milwaukee to make it six straight on Saturday night.

Who will win Cubs vs Brewers today: Milwaukee Brewers (-170)

Kyle Harrison’s numbers have dipped over the last month – allowing eight runs against the Athletics will do that – but his process remains elite. He has posted a sparkling 3.12 xFIP and 31 K%.

His strong pitching should continue at home, where he has allowed six runs over eight starts.

While the Chicago Cubs have hit lefties well in June, they rank 19th in average and 23rd in ISO since May 1.

The Milwaukee Brewers are in a much better spot against David Peterson, who ranks in the fifth percentile in Pitcher Run Value.

Back Milwaukee up to -185.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Kyle Harrison sits in the 92nd percentile in Pitcher Run Value.

Cubs vs Brewers Over/Under pick: Over 8.0 (-105)

Peterson has allowed at least three runs in four of his past five starts. Things won’t get any easier for him against the Brewers, who sit third in runs scored on home soil this season.

Behind Peterson is a bullpen in dreadful form. Their bullpen owns a 5.15 ERA in June, ranking them 23rd in ERA. They grade out even worse in FIP, besting only the Royals. 

Milwaukee’s offense should score early and often in this one, doing the heavy lifting necessary to push this Over the total.

Bet to -115.
