Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction and Picks, September 3, 2026

The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a roll lately, winning six out of their last ten games. They have a solid record on the road, which is impressive considering they are facing the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have shown they can hit left-handed pitchers well, but the Brewers are also competitive, especially since their hitting against lefties is about average for the league. It's worth noting that both teams are pretty evenly matched, making this a tough call. The most concrete risk here is that the Cubs have won four of their last ten games, which shows they can put up a fight. Still, I like the Brewers to come out on top.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-110)

The Cubs are facing the Brewers, and Pete Crow-Armstrong has been hitting well at Wrigley Field. He usually gets a good number of at-bats there and averages over four total bases in his recent games. The Cubs have also been strong against left-handed pitchers, while the Brewers struggle a bit in that matchup. Betting on Pete to get over 1.5 total bases seems like a solid choice. The risk is that the Brewers have been playing well lately, winning six of their last ten games. Still, with Pete's home advantage and his current form, he has a good shot to get those bases.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Garrett Mitchell Over 1.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (+105)

Garrett Mitchell needs to get at least two hits, runs, or RBIs tonight for this bet to win. He's been on fire lately, getting hits about 1.7 times more often than usual. Plus, the wind is blowing out toward the outfield, which is great for hitters like him. The Cubs have been strong against left-handed pitchers, hitting well as a team, while the Brewers have struggled a bit in that area. However, the Brewers have been winning games lately, so they could put pressure on him. Still, with Mitchell's recent form and the favorable conditions, he has a solid chance to come through.

Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers: Ian Happ Over 1.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (+125)

For Ian Happ to get over 1.5 hits, runs, or RBIs tonight, he needs to stay active against the Brewers. The Cubs have been hitting well against left-handed pitchers this year, and Happ has been part of that success. Plus, the Brewers' starting pitcher has been giving up runs at a lower rate than average, which means the Cubs might have more chances to score. While the Brewers have been solid lately, Happ's recent form gives him a good chance to shine. He's been getting on base regularly, and with Wrigley Field as the backdrop, it could be a great night for him. The biggest risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so it could turn out to be a tough game.

That is the whole read on this one. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
