Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction – 6/19/2025

As the Chicago Cubs prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers on June 19, 2025, at Wrigley Field, they come off a solid win against the Brewers just two days prior, where they clinched the game 5-3. This matchup is crucial for both teams as they vie for position in the National League Central; the Cubs currently hold a strong record of 45-28, while the Brewers sit at 39-35, showcasing a competitive, yet uneven, season.

On the mound, the Cubs are set to start Jameson Taillon, who was scheduled to start in yesterday's postponed matchup between these teams. Taillon is 7-3 with a 3.48 ERA, enjoying a very strong start to his 2025 season. In contrast, the Brewers will counter with Jacob Misiorowski. He is making his second start of the season so far after a promising start against the St. Louis Cardinals, where he threw five shutout innings in a 6-0 win for Milwaukee.

Offensively, the Cubs are firing on all cylinders, ranking 4th in MLB for runs scored and 5th in both team batting average and home runs. Their powerful lineup, which has already hit 99 home runs this season, will likely pose a challenge for Misiorowski. Meanwhile, the Brewers' offense ranks a disappointing 23rd in the league, struggling to find consistency despite their impressive speed on the base paths.

With the game total set at 8.5 runs and both teams listed at -110 on the moneyline, expectations are high for a close contest. However, the Cubs' offensive prowess suggests they may have the edge in this matchup, making them a team to watch as they continue to build momentum in the season.
