Tyler Chatwood takes the mound for the Cubs. he is 2-1 this season with a 5.40 ERA. He was terrible in his last outing, lasting just 2.1 innings and allowing 8 runs on 11 hits.

The Brewers have scored just 12 runs in their last four games. Chatwood had a rocky outing in his last start but has pitched well at Wrigley. He has given up just one run in two starts at home. The Brewers staff has given up 24 runs in the last 4 games which is not a good sign when facing the Cubs. Chatwood should have a better outing this time around and feel the Cubs are undervalued in this one.

Play on the Chicago Cubs.
