Cubs score twice in the ninth, beat Brewers

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

The Cubs won in what we predicted would be the game to watch, and we were right.  Chicago (62-44) beat Milwaukee (60-46) to put them two games up in the NL Central. C.C. Sabathia had his worst start as a Brewer, but it was by no means a bad start. He has just been outstanding as a Brewer so far. His line for Monday: 6.2 IP, 9 hits, 3 earned runs, 3 strikeouts, and 2 walks.  He wasn’t even charged with the loss. That belongs to Brewers closer Solomon Torres, who gave up two runs. The first was an RBI double by Derrek Lee that scored Alfonso Soriano. Lee finished the game 3 for 5 with 3 RBI’s, and had this quote: “I just got two strikes and I was battling, I was just trying to get a sinker up and get the barrel on it. It worked out. He left one up a little bit and I was able to stay inside it and hit it to right field.” Chad Guadin notched the win and Carlos Marmol was given the save.

MLB picks - Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers 7/28/08 prediction and pick

Monday, July 28th, 2008

This is a 4 game series that very well could determine who the NL Central winner is. The Cubs (61-44) and the Brewers (60-45) are both teams who many experts cannot predict who will win because they are so evenly matched.

Consider these criteria when determining a pick between the Cubs and the Brewers:

- The Cubs are 22-30 when on the road

- The Brewers are 32-19

- The Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10 games, while the Cubs are 4-6 in their last 10

- C.C. Sabathia (10-8, 3.30) is 4-0 with the Brewers with a 1.30 ERA
