Cubs vs. Brewers Prediction: Misiorowski Favors Milwaukee at a Steep Price
Analysis updated September 8, 2026 at 5:16 AM CDT
Misiorowski's 1.97 ERA makes Milwaukee the winner pick, but the moneyline requires a 68.5% win rate to break even.
Milwaukee has the pitching edge
Jacob Misiorowski brings a 1.97 ERA and 0.79 WHIP into Tuesday's probable pitching matchup against Cubs left-hander David Peterson, who has a 5.39 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. Those figures favor Milwaukee, which SPF lists at -217. The Canadian Press via Yahoo Sports, a report from the Canadian news agency, lists both pitchers as probable starters.
Peterson also faces a Brewers offense batting an NL-leading .256, according to the report. Chicago's .251 average is close, so the team batting comparison offers less separation than the starting pitchers do.
Betting recommendation: Pass
Milwaukee must win about 68.5% of the time to break even at -217. The season pitching numbers support choosing the Brewers to win, but they don't establish a win probability above that threshold. Pass on the moneyline; Chicago's +177 return doesn't by itself make the Cubs a worthwhile alternative.
SPF sets the total at 7, with over -123 and under +102. Peterson's ERA gives a reason to consider Milwaukee scoring, while Misiorowski's suggests a tougher night for Chicago. Without a firmer estimate of either team's run production, there's no supported totals wager or score prediction.
