Cubs vs Brewers Prediction 1 September 2026
📡 Nine home runs in a single night can shift the momentum of a series in an instant. That’s exactly what the Cubs delivered on Monday, setting a new club record and routing the division leaders 17-3. Alex Bregman went deep three times, while Chicago wrapped up August with 62 home runs-setting a new National League record for a single calendar month. Milwaukee remain atop the NL Central, but they’ll need to quickly put their toughest night of the season behind them.
Head-to-Head
📊 Following last night’s win, the last ten official meetings between these rivals are split evenly at 5-5. Milwaukee took the opening four games of the 2026 regular season, but the Cubs responded with three straight victories, including a dominant 17-3 performance on Monday. Last fall, the teams also traded blows in the playoffs. This matchup is no longer defined by a clear upper hand-both sides have proven they can come out on top.
Head-to-head statistics Cubs - Brewers
Chicago Cubs Team Overview
The Cubs improved to 78-60, and last night’s win couldn’t have come at a better time after a shaky end to August. Throughout the month, the team occasionally faltered on the mound, but their lineup’s firepower remained elite. Alex Bregman, Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, Matt Shaw, and the rest of the order were relentless yesterday, punishing nearly every mistake in the zone with extra-base hits. While it’s unrealistic to expect another nine-homer night anytime soon, Chicago’s quality of contact right now is genuinely impressive.

Milwaukee Brewers Team Overview
Milwaukee, despite their recent loss, still boast an impressive 85-53 record. The Brewers arrived in Chicago riding a five-series winning streak and have showcased one of the league’s most balanced combinations of pitching and offense all season. However, that formula unraveled early yesterday, as their starting pitcher gave up nine runs in the opening innings and the contest was effectively over long before the ninth. Milwaukee’s lineup is strong enough to bounce back immediately, so the Cubs will need another standout performance on the mound.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Matthew Boyd enters with an 8-3 record, a 3.99 ERA, and a 1.22 WHIP. August has been a bit of a rollercoaster for him, especially after surrendering seven runs and four home runs on the 15th. However, his most recent outing was exactly what Chicago needed-six innings of work, allowing just three hits and one earned run. Boyd once again commanded the strike zone well and gave his team quality length on the mound.
Robert Gasser stands at 4-5 with a 4.59 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. His last start was a solid one, limiting opponents to just one run over 5.1 innings. Before that, the lefty had allowed four, three, and three runs in three consecutive starts. The Cubs have performed well against left-handed pitching lately and, coming off yesterday’s game, step into the batter’s box with plenty of confidence in their approach.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Milwaukee are simply too strong to assess this game based solely on their 17-3 record. The Brewers boast roster depth and solid numbers against left-handed pitching, making Boyd’s performance a key factor for the home side. His most recent outing showed he can bounce back quickly after a tough August. On the other side, Gasser faces a lineup that’s been launching home runs all month and just set a club record yesterday. Chicago have beaten Milwaukee three times in a row in their recent head-to-head meetings and once again enjoy home field advantage. We’re backing a Chicago Cubs win.
