Milwaukee Brewers @ Chicago Cubs - July 24, 2024

As a former sports statistician turned analyst, I always rely on data to make predictions and uncover hidden trends in baseball. Tonight’s game between the Brewers and the Cubs is no exception. Based on the numbers provided, it looks like the Brewers have the edge in both pitching and batting.

On the mound, the Cubs will be starting Justin Steele with a 2-4 win-loss record and a 3.8 ERA. While Steele has shown some promise with his strikeouts averaging 8.7 per game, his win-loss record and ERA suggest that he may struggle against the Brewers’ potent lineup.

The Brewers, on the other hand, have a pitcher with an undisclosed win-loss record but a slightly better ERA of 3.8. With an average of 8 strikeouts per game, this pitcher could give the Cubs batters some trouble tonight.

When it comes to batting, the Brewers also have the upper hand. They are averaging more runs (4.9), hits (8.7), RBIs (4.6), and have a higher batting average (.248) compared to the Cubs’ stats of 4.1 runs, 7.8 hits, 3.9 RBIs, and a .228 batting average.

Considering all these factors, my prediction aligns with what has been forecasted: The Brewers are likely to come out on top in this matchup against the Cubs tonight.

Additionally, based on the Over/Under prediction being set at under for this game, we can expect both teams’ pitchers to perform well enough to keep scoring relatively low.

In conclusion, with stronger pitching and hitting statistics in their favor, I anticipate that the Milwaukee Brewers will secure a victory over the Chicago Cubs in what should be an exciting and closely contested game tonight at Miller Park.
