Key Storylines to Watch
Pitching Form: The Cubs will go with Colin Rea to start this game on the mound. Rea is 8-4 on the season and has a 4.06 ERA. Quinn Priester will get the start on the bump for the Brewers. The Brew Crew will hope that Priester can improve on his 9-2 record and 3.28 ERA with a strong start in this matchup.
Bullpen Usage: Milwaukee’s bullpen had the advantage in their 8-4 win over the Cubs on Monday night. These teams have nearly identical bullpen ERAs and that will be a major factor in the rest of this series.
Team Momentum: The Cubs are 2-3 in their last five games. The Brewers are 3-2 in their last five games. Every game will count for these teams as they race each other for the NL Central title.

Final Thoughts
I think that the Brewers will win a second straight game over the Cubs in this series on Tuesday night. But I like the total more than I like a side in this matchup. I will go with the under as my best bet for this game as both pitchers should help rein in the opposing offenses after last night’s high-scoring matchup in Milwaukee.
