The Chicago Cubs Try To Slow Down the Red Hot Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are playing some of the best baseball of the season when they head to Wrigley Field to take on the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have struggled to put some wins together, but will try to cool down the Brewers.

Betting baseball will make the long season more exciting and there is no place better to wager on major league baseball than BetPhoenix. Online sportsbook BetPhoenix has the latest odds and wagering opportunities on every game in baseball.

Both the Brewers and the Cubs are excited to return to Wrigley Field for the start of their four-game series on Monday.

For the Cubs, it marks the end of a difficult road trip to St. Louis, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, in which they faced four former 20-game winners and went 2-8. They were outscored on the trip, 52-28, and compiled a 5.28 ERA.

They won't get any reprieve in facing the Brewers, who have won eight of their past 10 games. Randy Wolf will be on the hill for Milwaukee, while Ryan Dempster gets the call for the North Siders.

"Milwaukee might be playing the best baseball in the National League right now," Cubs manager Mike Quade said. "If we can continue to run out good starting pitching, then we have to find a way to be more productive offensively and hopefully getting some of these guys healthy will help us do that."

For the Brewers, Wrigley is the first of two baseball cathedrals they'll visit, stopping there for four games, then Fenway Park in Boston for three more games over the weekend. The two stadiums have housed nearly 200 seasons of Major League Baseball between them and are by far the two oldest in-use stadiums in baseball.

"The tradition is great," said Brewers right fielder Mark Kotsay, who played for the Red Sox in 2008 and '09 and has made a slew of trips to Wrigley Field. "It's fun to be a part of it, to go in there and smell the old stadiums."

Cubs outfielder Reed Johnson was hit in the helmet by a pitch on Saturday during his rehab outing and will return to Chicago to be reevaluated on Monday. Johnson was placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 26 with spasms in his lower back Infielder Jeff Baker will also return to Chicago, though unlike Johnson, he will be returning to the active roster. Baker went 3-for-10 with a double and a triple in three rehab games with Triple-A Iowa.

Both Baker and Johnson help the Cubs against left-handed pitchers.

The Cubs have too many injuries to play consistently this year and will have some great pitchers going in this series against the Brewers. The lineup will set up perfectly for the Cubs as they steal game one and beat the Brewers.
