Chicago Cubs

As the Chicago Cubs prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers on June 19, 2025, at Wrigley Field, both teams are looking to gain momentum in a tightly contested National League Central matchup. The Cubs are riding high after winning their last game against the Brewers 5-3 on June 17, while the Brewers seek to shake off the loss and bounce back.

The Cubs boast a solid 45-28 record this season, positioning themselves well in the division. Their offense ranks 4th best in MLB, showcasing power and consistency. However, the Cubs’ bullpen has been less impressive, sitting at 23rd in Power Rankings, which could factor into close games. Cade Horton is projected to start for the Cubs, bringing a 3-1 record and a commendable 3.47 ERA, though he has struggled with walks and hits allowed.

On the other hand, the Brewers have a record of 39-35, which is above average, but their offense ranks just 23rd in MLB. This inconsistency could be a significant hurdle against a strong Cubs team. Freddy Peralta takes the mound for Milwaukee; he carries a stellar 2.60 ERA and is ranked 38th among starting pitchers. Despite his excellent ERA, the projections suggest he might be due for a regression, especially against a powerful Cubs lineup that has hit 99 home runs this season.

With a Game Total set at 8.5 runs, both teams are expected to score, but the Cubs’ offensive firepower combined with Horton’s recent performance could give them the edge in this matchup. Bettors may want to consider the Cubs’ favorable position and strong hitting as they look to capitalize on the Brewers’ recent struggles.
