MIL vs CHC Series Scores

Chicago’s Game 4 victory was the first win by an underdog in the series, with the Cubs cashing tickets as +105 ‘dogs. Chicago had actually opened as a slight favorite in Game 4 but, when Freddy Peralta was announced as the Milwaukee starter, the Brewers became road chalk.

Game 4 was also the first in the series to stay under the total (though many over bettors would have pushed on 7.0 in Game 3).

CHC vs MIL Probable Game 5 Starters

If the Cubs stick to their rotation, Shota Imanaga will start Game 5. He was bad in Game 2, giving up four runs on five hits (two homers) in just 2.2 IP during a 7-3 Cubs loss. Milwaukee’s lineup now has a .802 OPS against the 5’10 lefty in 95 at-bats.

The Brewers used Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana, the #2 and #3 starters on their depth chart, in Game 3 on Wednesday, Oct. 8th. Priester only lasted 0.2 innings, getting blasted for four runs on three hits and two walks in the first inning. He’d be pitching on three days’ rest but given that he only threw 39 pitches, the quick turnaround likely wouldn’t be prohibitive.

Quintana threw 49 pitchers over three scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and a walk.

The Brewers don’t have another traditional starter on the roster. In all likelihood, Game 5 will be another bullpen game, just as their Game 2 victory was. Aaron Ashby was the opener in Game 2, allowing three runs on three hits over 1.2 innings. He pitched one scoreless inning in Game 1 and 1.1 scoreless in Game 4.
