🧠 Final Cubs vs. Brewers Prediction
The Cubs bring a more potent offense into this matchup, averaging 6.1 runs per game. While Quintana has been lights-out, the Cubs’ depth and recent form make them hard to fade. Expect a close, low-scoring game where timely hitting from Suzuki or Crow-Armstrong tips the scales.
🔒 ClutchBuzz Pick: Cubs 4, Brewers 3
✅ Bet: Cubs ML (-110), Under 8.5
