Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a hot streak, winning a franchise-record 14 straight games and taking the top spot in the MLB standings. They recently defeated the Reds and Cubs, with pitcher Freddy Peralta securing his 15th win of the season. The Brewers now have a significant nine-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central Division. With Jacob Misiorowski set to pitch in an upcoming game, the Brewers aim to extend their lead. Despite some key injuries, the team continues to perform well, with Misiorowski boasting a 4-1 record since being called up.

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs are still in contention for a playoff spot despite losing their stronghold on the NL Central Division. In a recent game, the Cubs were defeated by the Brewers in the opener of a doubleheader, with starter Cade Horton leaving the game early due to a blister on his throwing hand. The Cubs will be looking to bounce back in the series finale with righty Colin Rea on the mound. Rea has a 9-5 record this season with an ERA of 3.99 and will be facing his former team. Injuries to key players such as SP Cade Horton, C Migues Amaya, and RP Eli Morgan are impacting the team's performance.

Brewers Build Momentum with Key Performances Despite Rea's Inconsistencies

Despite Rea's inconsistent performance in going deep into games, the Brewers have managed to secure six quality starts out of his 25 overall starts. This has given them an edge, particularly due to their lineup's ability to wear down opposing pitchers. Additionally, the Brewers have emerged victorious in three of Misiorowski's last five starts. With an impressive track record of winning 15 out of their last 16 games leading up to Tuesday's doubleheader, the Brewers are clearly on a winning streak. They have also taken the lead in the overall season series, with a current score of 5-4 against the Cubs. Conversely, the Cubs have faced losses in three of Rea's last five starts. Therefore, it is recommended to support the red-hot Brewers and bet on them to secure a win in the series, making them a favorable choice with the money line.
