The Milwaukee Brewers are heavy -200 favorites to end their series with a win this afternoon.

With Chicago set to be heavily reliant on a struggling bullpen, my Cubs vs. Brewers predictions and MLB picks are backing the home team to win convincingly.

Who will win Cubs vs Brewers today: Brewers -1.5 (+110)

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Milwaukee Brewers have a big pitching advantage over the Chicago Cubs.

Brandon Woodruff owns a solid 3.00 ERA while ranking in the 90th percentile in xERA and 82nd in xBA.

The Cubs rank 19th in average and 17th in OPS against righties this month, so Woodruff should be able to keep them in check.

The Brewers are much more likely to have success at the plate. The Cubs will be going with a bullpen game, which is a scary proposition when they sit 29th in FIP in June.

Play to -105.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Chicago's bullpen owns a 4.96 ERA in June despite stranding runners at the sixth-highest rate.

Cubs vs Brewers Over/Under pick: Over 8 (-115)

It’s not just the expected stats that paint Cubs relievers in a negative light. They have given up an extraordinary amount of power in June, conceding a league-high 2.1 homers per nine innings.

The Brewers don’t hit a ton of homers, but they rank third in runs per game and 10th in OPS. They’re certainly capable of running up the score against struggling pitchers.

Woodruff is a quality pitcher, but it’ll still be difficult for him to completely silence an in-form Cubs attack that has scored at least four runs in eight of nine.

Bet the Over to -125.
