Sport 2 prediction
Each bullpens are in wonderful form. The Brewers are utilizing an opener earlier than possible going to Quinn Priester whereas the Cubs will possible have Shota Imanaga on a really quick leash. Anticipate an in depth one this time that goes all the way down to the ultimate out. I will say the Cubs get the job achieved with a well timed house run or two. — Matt Snyder
