Brewers vs. Cubs Prediction: Game 4 NLDS Preview

  • Get MLB picks and analysis for Brewers vs. Cubs.
  • The Brewers are -115 favorites in Game 4.
  • Milwaukee is -325 to win the NLDS.

The Milwaukee Bucks get another chance to clinch a playoff series win when they face the Chicago Cubs in Game 4 of the NLDS at 9:08 p.m. ET on Thursday at Wrigley Field on TBS.

The Cubs kept their season alive with a 4-3 victory in Wednesdayโ€™s Game 3. They will now host a night game in Chicago with a chance to force a Game 5.

Milwaukee hasnโ€™t won a playoff series since 2018, a drought they can end with a win on Thursday.

Hereโ€™s a look at the latest MLB odds and my Brewers vs. Cubs prediction ahead of Game 4:

Brewers vs. Cubs Prediction for Game 4

According to the initial MLB betting lines, I like Milwaukeeโ€™s moneyline (-115) as my favorite Brewers vs. Cubs prediction for Game 4 of the NLDS.

The Brewers havenโ€™t announced their starter for Game 4, but the answer seems so obvious. They should trust their best pitcher with a chance to win their first postseason series in seven years.

Milwaukee might want to save Freddy Peralta for Game 1 of the NLCS, but Iโ€™m not sure a team in this situation can afford to take such chances. Peralta is the Brewersโ€™ best hope of celebrating in the clubhouse tonight.

Peralta went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA in 33 starts this season, recording 204 strikeouts in 176 2/3 innings of work. He held the Cubs to two runs on four hits across 5 2/3 innings during a Game 1 victory. He hasnโ€™t allowed more than two runs in a start since Sept. 10.

Iโ€™ll be interested in Peraltaโ€™s pitching props, assuming heโ€™s announced as a starter at some point today. The weather suggests a low-scoring matchup, so there could be value in making bets with that in mind after 29 runs were scored in the first three games.

Prediction: Brewers ML (-115)
