Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers

For the Brewers, this is expected to be an all-hands-on-deck bullpen game, with Jacob Misiorowski likely to log the most innings. Misiorowski has posted a 4.17 ERA between the regular season and postseason and threw three scoreless innings in Game Two. The Cubs are likely to counter with a combination of Shota Imanaga and Colin Rea. Rea recorded a 3.95 ERA with only 7.2 strikeouts per nine innings during the regular season but has allowed just one run over 17 2/3 innings across his past four appearances. Imanaga, meanwhile, has allowed at least three runs in seven of his past eight outings and, despite a 3.73 ERA during the regular season, had a 4.86 fielding independent mark while allowing 1.9 home runs per nine innings. He’ll face a Brewers team that leads the National League in scoring since the All-Star Break with over 5.3 runs per game.

Picks: Brewers Moneyline (-125) and Over 7.5 Runs (Greg’s Handicap: Brewers -138, Total 7.8)
