The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Over 1.5' for the Team Total Runs (Alternate) market in the Brewers vs Cubs game is supported by the Cubs' strong recent offensive performance. Over their last five games, the Cubs have averaged 6.8 runs overall and 5.6 runs in away games. This scoring ability is backed up by their average batting hits, with 10.6 overall and 10.2 in away games. Despite the Brewers' decent defensive record, allowing an average of 2.2 runs overall and 1 at home, the Cubs' scoring power is statistically likely to overcome this. Furthermore, the Brewers' pitchers have a relatively high average of base on balls (2.6 overall and 2.4 at home), providing additional scoring opportunities for the Cubs. Therefore, the statistical data suggests that the Cubs are likely to score more than 1.5 runs in this game.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Under 7.5' is backed by several key statistics. Firstly, the Brewers have a strong recent home record, with only 1 loss in the last 5 games. More importantly, their defensive performance at home has been exceptional, allowing an average of just 1 run per game in their last 5 home matches. The Brewers' pitchers also show control, with an average of just 2.4 walks per game at home. Although the Cubs have a decent batting average, scoring an average of 5.6 runs in their last 5 away games, this falls significantly short of the 7.5 line. The model prediction further supports this, forecasting only 4.7 runs for the Cubs. These factors combined suggest a high probability that the Cubs will score under 7.5 runs.
