Peralta has pitched well for the Brewers this season and he is the better pitcher in this matchup. Peralta is 3-1 against the Chicago Cubs and the team has won seven of his last ten starts against the Cubs. Milwaukee has played well on the road as a team with a 13-5 straight up road record, and should have the edge in this game with their bullpen as well. The Cubs put Assad on the mound but they haven’t had much success winning their games with him starting and he has a low strikeout rate so he’s not getting batters out. They have injury issues with some of their starting lineup so they may struggle with offense in this game. Take Milwaukee to take two wins in the series.

Best bet: take Milwaukee on the moneyline (ML).
