The Milwaukee Brewers (85-53) looks to shake off a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Chicago Cubs (78-60) at Wrigley Field Tuesday night. First pitch scheduled for 7:40 PM ET / 4:40 PM PT after the Cubbies walloped the Brew Crew 17-3 in the first of a four-game series Monday.
As the Brewers look to bounce back, elite bats like William Contreras will aim to find gaps against starter Matthew Boyd. Meanwhile, Milwaukee hands the ball to Robert Gasser to quiet a surging lineup. With Chicago sitting as slight -121 moneyline favorites against the +110 underdog Brewers in the MLB odds, I am eyeing the player props market.
Brewers vs Cubs Player Prop Picks
With several hitters riding hot streaks, tonight’s showdown offers fantastic value in the prop markets. Here are my top MLB player props picks for this divisional tilt.
Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 1.5 Total Bases
Pete Crow-Armstrong’s blistering track record as the heavy favorite in the NL MVP odds race makes the over intriguing. Over his last ten games, he is averaging 1.4 base hits per contest with a staggering 1.176 OPS and seven home runs. Five of those dingers have come in the last three contests alone.
He draws a favorable assignment against Gasser, who carries a 4.59 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, and surrenders 8.96 hits per nine innings.
William Contreras Over 1.5 Total Bases
I am backing William Contreras to clear 1.5 total bases at +117, which is the best available number on the board. Contreras has been a sheer force over his last ten outings. He is hitting .410 with an elite 1.056 OPS and 1.6 base knocks per game. In his career against Matthew Boyd, he’s gone 4-for-9 for a .444 average and one home run.
Boyd has been respectable but still yields 8.16 hits per nine frames alongside a 3.99 ERA. Contreras thrives in these spots. Claim the Kalshi promo code to capture this plus-money value.
Seiya Suzuki Over 1.5 Total Bases
Seiya Suzuki is priced beautifully to clear his bases prop, and his current tear justifies my investment. Suzuki boasts a .372 average and a 1.065 OPS over his last ten skirmishes, generating 1.6 hits per contest.
Gasser struggles to miss bats, surrendering nearly a hit per inning over 82.1 frames. Suzuki has proven he can easily barrel up mistakes. Claim your theScore Bet promo code today.
