Final score: Chicago Cubs 8, Milwaukee Brewers 2

Why this play: Both Chicago and Milwaukee have been comfortably hitting and scoring, so expecting a game north of eight total runs feels right.

Quick read:

Taking the Over 8.0 runs here is a straightforward call given the offensive profiles of these two teams. The Cubs have flexed their bats to the tune of 399 runs scored, while the Brewers aren't far behind with 407 runs themselves. When both squads are this productive, the scoreboard rarely stays quiet.
Milwaukee’s stingy pitching hasn’t translated into a shutdown against all comers, allowing 284 runs, which is a nice target for a Cubs lineup that’s racked up 673 hits this season. Conversely, the Brewers will get their chances against a Cubs pitching staff that has allowed 362 runs, indicating both bullpens have been tested often.
Of course, pitching matchups on the day could throw a wrench in plans, but at this price, you’re paying for the likelihood that two offensively solid teams will push the total over eight runs. If you’re a fan of low-scoring nail-biters, this pick might not be your cup of tea.
