Get odds, pitcher matchup, player props, betting trends, and a bold same-game parlay pick for Cubs vs. Brewers Sunday game.
The Chicago Cubs head into Sunday’s series finale at American Family Field with momentum, riding a three-game winning streak as they take on the Milwaukee Brewers. With first pitch scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET, this NL Central clash pits two division rivals trending in opposite directions. The Cubs are 21-13 and surging thanks to hot bats and consistent pitching, while the Brewers have fallen to 16-18 and are trying to stop the bleeding after dropping four of their last six.
On the mound, Chicago sends left-hander Shota Imanaga (3-1, 2.77 ERA), who’s been dealing through his first MLB campaign, while the Brewers counter with Freddy Peralta (3-2, 2.52 ERA), who’s been Milwaukee’s most reliable starter so far. Oddsmakers see this one as a near toss-up, with both clubs hovering around even money on the moneyline. The over/under sits at 7.5 runs.
Can the Cubs keep raking behind Pete Crow-Armstrong’s power surge and seal the series? Or will Jackson Chourio and the Brewers’ home bats finally break through? Let’s break down the numbers.

🔁 Series Recap
This NL Central battle has delivered everything you’d expect from a rivalry series — big hits, clutch moments, and a dominant run from Chicago. The Cubs have taken the first three games of the series, riding a red-hot offense that’s outscored the Brewers 24-11 so far.
Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki have been punishing Milwaukee pitching, combining for six home runs and 15 RBIs through the first three games. Chicago’s starters have held the Brewers in check, with the bullpen locking things down late.
Meanwhile, the Brewers are reeling. After a promising start to the season, Milwaukee’s offense has sputtered, and their pitching has failed to contain the Cubs’ relentless attack. A sweep at home would sting — and Freddy Peralta will need to deliver a shutdown outing to salvage the series.

🎯 Why: The Cubs are swinging hot bats, hitting .282 over the last 10 with Pete Crow-Armstrong looking like a breakout star. Milwaukee counters with their ace Peralta, but their lack of power lately (only 4 HR in 10 games) could be their undoing. Imanaga has been dependable, and the Cubs’ momentum gives them the edge.
