Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Brewers expected to win again

Game 2 of a three-game series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs will take place at American Family Field. Below is a preview of the game with betting opportunities. 

The Milwaukee Brewers are in good form, and in game 2, they will look solid again. In their opener, the Milwaukee Brewers secured a 4-2 win, extending their win run to five games. However, the prior games to this series saw the Milwaukee Brewers lose to the San Diego Padres and then defeat the Los Angeles Angels while completing a sweep over the Texas Rangers. Heading into this series, the Milwaukee Brewers have a 49-33 record, positioning them in 3rd spot in the National League standings.

The Chicago Cubs have been disappointing lately, and in this game, they will look to step up. In their last series to this, the Chicago Cubs could only avoid a sweep defeat against the San Francisco Giants in a 3-5 win in the finale. However, the Chicago Cubs had lost 5-1 and 4-3 in the first two games while losing their series against the New York Mets and St Louis Cardinals. Heading into this game, the Chicago Cubs have a 38-45 record and are 13th in the National League standings. 

The Milwaukee Brewers have my backing in this game. The Chicago Cubs have been poor in recent series, and it is tough to expect any surprising performance here, looking at how they played in the opener. This should be a tight one, considering that the Chicago Cubs will look to improve their play, but then the Milwaukee Brewers are expected to win.
