Player Predictions for Brewers vs Cubs - September 3, 2026

-125O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)+105

Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-125)
The Milwaukee Brewers infield defense projects as the 3rd-best out of every team playing today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
Jackson Chourio has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 96.4-mph average in the last week’s worth of games to his seasonal 92-mph average.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-200)
Christian Yelich has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (42.3%) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game’s 7th-shallowest LF fences today.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Kevin Gausman – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)
Compared to league average, Kevin Gausman has been granted more leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing an additional 3.4 adjusted pitches each outing.
Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Pedro Ramirez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)
Milwaukee’s #3-ranked outfield defense of all teams today poses a formidable challenge for Pedro Ramirez, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (+105)
The best projected lineup on the slate today in terms of overall hitting ability belongs to the Chicago Cubs.
Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
