Starting Lineup for Brewers vs Cubs - September 02, 2026

-150O/U: 8.5
(-120/+100)+125

Jacob Misiorowski – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
Jacob Misiorowski has averaged 91.7 adjusted pitches per outing this year, checking in at the 76th percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Gary Sánchez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
Gary Sanchez is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 67% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
Brice Turang – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
Brice Turang has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.6%) and has the good fortune of hitting them in the direction of MLB’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.

David Peterson – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)
With 7 hitters who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected offense, David Peterson has a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected offense for the Chicago Cubs today carries an estimated true talent wOBA of .324, which is a good deal lower than their actual wOBA of .337 this year.
Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Chicago Cubs – Over/Under 3.5 Team Total (-125/-105)
The Chicago Cubs have hit the Team Total Over in 31 of their last 50 games (+7.50 Units / 12% ROI)
Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-150)
The Milwaukee Brewers have hit the Moneyline in 12 of their last 18 games (+5.25 Units / 21% ROI)
Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 0.5 Home Runs (+330/-480)
Pete Crow-Armstrong has hit the Home Runs Over in 5 of his last 9 games at home (+12.30 Units / 137% ROI)
