The Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers meet Monday in MLB action from American Family Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction.
Starting Pitching Matchup
The Chicago Cubs will send out Justin Steele here and Steele is 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA and 23 strikeouts this season. In his last five starts against the Brewers, Steele is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 36 strikeouts. Robert Gasser will get the start for the Brewers here and is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season. This will be Gasser’s first career start against the Cubs.
Chicago Cubs Recap
The Chicago Cubs come into this one looking to rebound from a tough rain-shortened series against the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend. The Cubs could use a positive result after series losses to the Braves and Pirates over the last week and a half.
Cubs Could Use Consistent Offense
Going into Sunday’s matchup, Nico Hoerner leads the Cubs with 45 hits, 12 doubles and a .263 batting average while Christopher Morel has a team-high 9 home runs and 33 RBIs. Michael Busch has 7 homers with 21 RBIs but also has the unfortunate distinction of leading the Cubs with 63 strikeouts as well this season. Cody Bellinger also has 7 homers and 23 RBIs as well this season.
Milwaukee Brewers Recap
The Milwaukee Brewers come into this one looking to build on another series win after knocking off Boston over the weekend despite a 2-1 loss in Sunday’s series finale. The Brewers needed the series win after falling to the Marlins and Astros over the last week and a half.
Brewers Looking To Drum Up Offense Back At Home
William Contreras leads the Brewers with 69 hits including 15 doubles and 43 RBIs along with 8 home runs and a .405 OBP while Rhys Hoskins has a team-high 9 home runs with 27 RBIs and Willy Adames has a team-high 16 doubles with 7 home runs and 32 RBIs. Brice Turang leads the Brewers with 19 stolen bases while Adames has a team-high 50 strikeouts as well this season.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
I’m on the Brewers in this one. Justin Steele was a profitable pitcher for the Cubs last season, but he simply has not had it this season. The Brewers have been a strong road team, but even going back home, they’ve had a fair bit of success, especially when it comes to playing within the division. Robert Gasser had a tough time last time out, but he’s been solid in two home starts and this is just a tough schedule spot for the Cubs after Sunday night baseball. I’ll roll with the Brew Crew at home here.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
