Important Game for Brew Crew against Chicago Cubs

Bookmark and Share by D.S. Williamson

The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers meet on Friday night with a lot at stake for the Brewers. The Cubs have already secured the N.L. Central Division crown. The Brewers can secure a wild card berth if they were to do well versus the Cubs this weekend.

Even though the Brewers have been on a four game winning streak, that baseball betting fans are much appreciative about, they face a difficult opponent in the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers will send Jeff Suppan to the mound. Suppan hasn’t been all that great this year going 10 and 10 with a 5.06 ERA.

The Cubs counter Suppan with one of the better pitchers in the National League, Ryan Dempster. Dempster has been one of the guys that have helped the Cubs become one of the elite teams in Major League Baseball this season. He has rewarded MLB betting fans that have put their faith behind him by going 17 and 6 with a 2.99 ERA.

Here are the online BetUS Sportsbook betting odds for this game:

Chicago Cubs

Ryan Dempster – R + 1 ½ - 220 - 105 O 9 - 105

Milwaukee Brewers

Jeff Suppan – R - 1 ½ + 180 - 115 U 9 - 115

Here are a few online MLB wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:

The Chicago Cubs are 20 and 6 in their last 26 games on the road.

The Chicago Cubs are 11-1-2 in their last 14 games versus the Brewers in Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Brewers are 2 and 5 in Jeff Suppan’s last 7 starts at home.

The Chicago Cubs are 4 and 0 in Ryan Dempster’s last 4 starts versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Brewers are hot but these are the Chicago Cubs that they face tonight. The Cubs are easily one of the best teams in Major League Baseball and because they put one of their best pitchers on the mound, I see little chance of the Brewers continuing their hot streak.

To me, this game is an easy one to call. The Chicago Cubs are only – 105 on the BetUS online sportsbook to win this game straight-up. They have done so in Milwaukee in 11 out of their last 14 games. They’ve only lost once in those 14 games versus the Brewers in Milwaukee.

With Dempster on the mound, the Cubs should have no problems garnering a nice lead in this game. I see them winning this game straight-up at the BetUS MLB wagering odds of – 105.
