The Cubs and Brewers enter this series tied atop the NL Central after the Cubs picked up a game when the Brewers finally lost two in a row. Milwaukee dropped a series at home to the Marlins and almost got swept, though that 15-6 record in July has them sitting pretty. These next three games have a lot riding on them, and it should be a charged atmosphere at AmFam Field.
Matthew Boyd carries a 23-inning scoreless streak into this one and has only allowed two runs over his last five starts. He’s racked up 29 strikeouts to just three walks in that span as he shows no signs of slowing down despite throwing 40 more innings than in any season since 2019.
