Chicago Cubs
The Cubs may already be looking forward to next season, but they are playing some of their best baseball right now, going 6-4 and their last 10. That includes winning their last three series, including victories over the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox.
Pitching has been a major concern for this team, especially on the road where they have a 5.11 ERA. They have given up the third most amount of homeruns on the road (56) and have a 1.39 road WHIP, fifth worst. The team pitching staff has been much better over the last week, posting a 3.54 ERA, 10th best, and have allowed just five home runs and 56.0 innings pitched.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are playing very well of late as well, going 7-3 in their last 10. They are only 19-15 at home this season and have really struggled at Miller Park since the beginning of June, going 4-12 in their last 16 home contests.
The offense has been a staple for this Brewers team all season, as they are 10th in runs per game (4.74) and eighth in OPS (.735). The pitching has been solid at Miller Park, posting a 3.55 ERA.
