Brewers vs Cubs Prediction 7 September 2026
📡 Central Division rivals square off again just four days after wrapping up their series at Wrigley Field. Milwaukee remain atop the standings at 88-56, but are coming off back-to-back losses in Cincinnati, including a wild 8-12 defeat on Sunday. The Cubs sit at 81-63 and are looking to rebound after a 3-10 loss in Miami. Matthew Boyd and Robert Gasser are slated to start the opener of this new series.

Head-to-head statistics Brewers - Cubs
Milwaukee Brewers Team Overview
The Brewers boast one of the National League’s most potent offenses and even in Sunday’s defeat, they managed to plate eight runs. Brice Turang drove in three RBI, while Jake Bauers launched a two-run homer, but the pitching staff couldn’t hold the line. With Kyle Harrison exiting early, the bullpen was forced to cover more than four innings. Milwaukee now head back home, where they have won nearly two-thirds of their games this season.

Chicago Cubs Team Overview
The Cubs remain one of the most formidable offenses in MLB. Pete Crow-Armstrong launched his 40th home run on Sunday, and just days earlier, the team set a club record by blasting nine homers in a single game-against Milwaukee, no less. A 3-10 loss in Miami spoiled the series finale, but Chicago still took two out of three and continue to solidify their position in the wild card race.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Robert Gasser gets the nod for Milwaukee, entering the game with a 4-5 record, a 4.57 ERA, and a 1.29 WHIP. Over 86.2 innings, he has racked up 82 strikeouts but has surrendered 13 home runs. Facing a Cubs lineup that ranks among the league's top power-hitting offenses, the long ball remains his biggest vulnerability.
Matthew Boyd takes the mound for the visitors, boasting an 8-3 record, a 4.05 ERA, and a 1.23 WHIP. The lefty has logged 102.1 innings, striking out 79 while allowing 15 home runs. Just a week ago, Milwaukee managed to get to Boyd during his start, then piled on runs against the relievers to seal a 9-4 win.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Three of the four meetings between these teams last week produced 13, 14, and 20 runs. Now both clubs are sending left-handed starters to the mound, each with an ERA north of four and a tendency to give up long balls. Milwaukee just put up eight runs, while the Cubs have already surpassed 200 home runs this season and are more than capable of punishing Gasser quickly. Another factor: both bullpens were heavily taxed on Sunday after early exits from their starters. Given the offensive firepower on display, this line looks well within reach even without a massive inning. Our pick: over 7.5 total runs.
