Fri May 02 23:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Cubs Look to Extend Winning Streak Against Brewers in Milwaukee

**Milwaukee, WI (May 2, 2025)** – The Chicago Cubs (19-13) will face off against the Milwaukee Brewers (16-16) tonight at American Family Field, looking to continue their recent success. The Cubs, winners of four of their last five games against divisional opponents, are coming off a series victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Meanwhile, the Brewers are reeling after an 8-0 shutout loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Ben Brown (2-2, 6.04 ERA) will take the mound for the Cubs, facing off against Quinn Priester (1-0, 3.79 ERA) for the Brewers. Brown’s last outing saw him give up 6 earned runs in 3.2 innings against the Phillies, while Priester allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings against the Cardinals.

NBC Sports Bet’s model is predicting a close contest, suggesting a moneyline bet on the Cubs (-114), a spread bet on the Brewers +1.5, and an over bet on a game total of 8.0 runs. The Cubs’ Ian Happ, who had a stellar performance in their last series with two runs, three hits, and an RBI, will be a key player to watch. Historically, the last three Cubs-Brewers matchups have gone under the total runs. The Brewers, however, have performed well on the run line at home recently, boasting a 3.71 unit advantage in their last five games at American Family Field.

The game promises an exciting matchup between two divisional rivals, with the outcome uncertain despite the model’s predictions. Fans can follow the action and stay updated on the latest stats and news through Rotoworld Player News and NBC Sports. Remember to gamble responsibly.
