Cubs vs. Brewers Game Analysis and Betting Preview

But I'm looking forward also to the Cubs and the Brewers series. But two opposites here, right? Cubs kind of smacked the Brewers down in game one and the Brewers come back and do what the Brewers have done all season long. They counter right back, counter punch right back and handle the Cubs no problem last night. Now, they got Mizorowski on the mound tonight going up against Peterson. I thought it would be a little bit higher, but I guess they're giving the Cubs a little bit of love here in this spot, Craig, as far as the prices go and the odds go. But listen, Miz on the mound. I got no problem. I don't know. Lay in the run and a half with Milwaukee. That's for sure. All right. So Pete Crow Armstrong against Jacob Mizorowski, Joe. Now, again, I can't take all the credit for all these stats that I'm rolling off. I'm lucky to have my stat pack sent to me. So I love being on being on the broadcast. I get it. So don't think Craig Mish is here with all these stats in his brain. He does a little prep and get some more prep from some help with Major League Baseball here. So trivia time for Joe Renneri. Pete Crow Armstrong has faced Jacob Mizorowski a total of 12 times. 12 times. Joe, what do you think Pete Crow Armstrong has done against Jacob Mizorowski in 12 at bats? Would you like to take a shot at this? How many hits does he have? Or how many? What are we thinking? Yes. How many hits? Yeah. I would say no hits, but half of those are strikeouts. Wow. Joe Renneri. Give that man a prize. Yeah. 0 for 12. It feels like 0 for 12. That's unbelievable. With nine strikeouts against Jacob Mizorowski. That's crazy. Pete Crow Armstrong. That's crazy. Jacob Mizorowski has faced the Cubs twice this season. And he is 2-0 with a .75 earned run average. Joe, if you back the Cubs tonight, good luck. I am not with you. I am going to take Milwaukee tonight. No chance. I saw the plus run. What was it? Minus a run and a half Milwaukee. Did you guys have that at plus 104? I think on the on the board. I think that's the way I'm looking. I got no problem laying Milwaukee there. Minus a run and a half at, yeah, right around plus. I'm good with that. No problem laying that with the road team here, especially with Miz going tonight. You got to take your shots when you can, when you can take them. But now what? 80, 70, 78 wins for the Cubs here. 86 wins for Milwaukee. It does kind of feel like Milwaukee is going to finish with the best record in all of Major League Baseball. Now, does that mean they benefit from playing home? Now, you had always said they were a pretty good home team this year, 47 and 25, but they weren't a terrible road team either here, but the Dodgers also 40 and 27 at home, 42 and 29 on the road. Dodgers have 82 wins, Milwaukee 86, and you got Atlanta at 83. It would still have to be a catastrophic failure for Milwaukee not to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs here. No. Yeah, I think, you know, I do think so. I still, you know, can't really say that. I believe that this Brewers team is more postseason built than in years past Joe. The only difference is I think now is that Mizorowski is so dominant that as it's it isn't hard to just say that Mizorowski in a seven game series pitches three times and loses twice. It doesn't really roll off the tongue. So if that's the case, maybe this Brewers team does get to the net like get to the National League Championship Series. I think you'd call that a successful season given the fact that Milwaukee's keeps getting bounced every year in the playoffs and maybe that's and maybe that is the difference for them. But on the flip side Joe. Yes, they have Harrison and yes, some of these pitchers that they have have done a really nice job for them. But Joe if Mizorowski was to face off in the National League Division Series against I don't know for sale, whatever Atlanta and lose the first game, you'd immediately think that's it that Brewers are done, right? Like you would think no matter who they have pitching the rest of the series and that is the dynamic that still worries me a little bit but the Mizorowski is having such a historical season is going to strike out 300 like crazy kind of season where maybe he is the guy that puts Milwaukee over the top. I personally do not believe the Brewers are going to win the World Series and I'm not even sure that they're going to represent the National League, but I'm hopeful for them because they're in a smaller market and they do things differently. I'd like to see them at least get past the first round of the playoffs and then I think they can breathe a little bit. So my question is do they get are we going to have a hundred win team? I think Milwaukee is the only one hundred. Yes. They'll win a hundred games. Are these 14 and 12 the rest of the way? Yes. I think they'll do that. Yes, so they'll be there. Does Tampa do the same? Is that we're going to have a couple of hundred win teams? Close. They're close 83 and 55. I can't guarantee that.
