Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction and Picks, September 1, 2026

The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a roll lately, winning seven of their last ten games. However, the Cubs have only managed to win three of their last ten games, which raises some concern. The Brewers have a strong record away from home, winning 38 out of 65 games, while the Cubs are slightly better at home with 39 wins. With the matchup being so close, it could go either way, but the Brewers seem to have the momentum and better recent form. Just remember, the Cubs' hitting against lefties could pose a challenge for the Brewers.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Under 10.5 Total Runs (-122)

The Cubs have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, while the Brewers are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10. The Cubs have been pretty good against left-handed starters, hitting well above average this year, but the Brewers have not been as strong in that area. With both teams facing off at Wrigley Field, it feels like this matchup could lead to a lower-scoring game. Betting on under 10.5 total runs looks like a solid choice here. Our numbers suggest a combined total closer to 7.3 runs, which hints at a quieter day at the plate. The biggest risk is that the Cubs and Brewers are both decent teams, so they could surprise us with a high-scoring game.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Milwaukee Brewers -1 Spread (+129)

The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a roll, winning seven of their last ten games. They play well on the road, and their hitting against left-handed pitchers is solid, even if it's not as strong as the Cubs' impressive performance in the same situation. The Cubs have struggled overall lately, winning only three of their last ten games, which could be a red flag. Betting on the Brewers to win by at least two runs seems reasonable. While the game is rated close to a coin flip, the Brewers' strong winning streak and solid hitting give them a good shot. The real risk comes from the Cubs' home advantage and their ability to hit lefties, but the Brewers are tough to beat right now.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Tyrone Taylor Over 0.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-227)

Tyrone Taylor has been keeping a solid hitting rhythm lately, averaging no strikeouts over his last three games. The Chicago Cubs are facing the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, and the Cubs have had a strong season at home. They handle left-handed pitchers really well, and since Taylor is part of that lineup, he should find some good opportunities to contribute. The Brewers have been on a roll lately, winning seven of their last ten games, but their batting against left-handed pitchers isn't as strong as the Cubs. Taylor should be able to get at least one hit or score a run today, but the risk is that the Cubs' pitcher has been pretty effective, giving up fewer runs than average. Still, the chances look good for him to go over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Garrett Mitchell Over 0.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-270)

For Garrett Mitchell to go over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs tonight, he needs to keep up his recent hot streak. He's been getting hits at about 1.7 times his usual rate lately, and the wind is blowing out toward the outfield, which is great for hitters. The Chicago Cubs have struggled lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, but they do hit well against left-handed pitchers, like the one the Brewers will throw. Mitchell has averaged 0.7 hits per game over his last three games, and the Cubs' home field advantage could help him. The Brewers have been winning a lot, taking 7 of their last 10, but this matchup is pretty close overall. The biggest challenge is that the teams are pretty evenly matched lately, so there's always a chance things might not go his way.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 0.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-417)

The Cubs face the Brewers in a matchup where the Cubs' hitting against left-handed pitchers stands out. Pete Crow-Armstrong has shown he can produce at home, averaging 1.5 hits in his last 10 games at Wrigley Field. The Brewers' pitching might be solid, but Crow-Armstrong has a good chance to contribute with hits, runs, or RBIs. Betting on Crow-Armstrong to get over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs seems reasonable given his current form. The Cubs have struggled lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, so the main risk is how well the Brewers' pitchers can perform today. Still, Crow-Armstrong's ability to get on base gives this bet a good chance to pay off.
