Key Storylines to Watch
Pitching Form: Freddy Peralta has been a standout on the mound for the Brewers. He enters this game with a 12-4 record and a 2.81 ERA. He is 4-0 in the month of July. Shota Imanaga of the Cubs is coming off a rough outing. He allowed seven runs and 12 hits in just three innings against the White Sox in his most recent start.
Bullpen Usage: The Brewers’ bullpen has been a strength in this series. They have held onto multi-run leads in each of the first two games of this series without any problems. If they can remain steady in this game, we could see the Brewers pull off a significant sweep of their NL Central rivals.
Team Momentum: Milwaukee has been on a tear. They have won three straight games and have taken over the top spot in the NL Central. The Cubs have been more inconsistent. They have lost two games in a row and have dropped to second place in the standings.

Final Thoughts
These NL Central rivals are moving in opposite directions at this point in the season. Milwaukee is playing some of its best baseball at a time when you want to make a move in the playoff race. Chicago is playing some of its worst baseball lately. Here, I expect both teams to continue moving in those directions. Look for Freddy Peralta to deliver once again to close out a great July for him. I’m backing Milwaukee to finish off a sweep here.
