Rating: 10*
The Chicago Cubs have won seven of their past eight and hammered the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Labor Day. I think we'll see another big Cubs win on Tuesday as they get a look at Wily Peralta.
Peralta (5-9, 5.53) has faced the Cubs 11 times over his career, going 3-7 with a 4.09 ERA. This will be the first meeting of the season, but the current Cubs roster is batting a combined .330 over 109 at bats against the right-hander.
The Cubs turn to Jason Hammel (14-7, 3.14 ERA) who is 7-2 with a 2.54 ERA in nine starts since the All-Star break and 2-1 in three starts against the Brewers this season, allowing six runs over 18 innings of work. In 14 career starts, he's 10-1 against them with a 2.50 ERA and 6-1 with a 2.32 ERA in eight career starts at Miller Park.
The Cubs could pretty much pack it in right now and still make it to the postseason, but they've shown no intention of doing so what so ever. The better bats, the better starting pitcher, the better bullpen ... Yeah, this is an easy play on the Cubs at the runline.
