We can't get much value on the ML here for the Brewers, but I think they can do early damage against Kyle Hendricks, and we can cut the game in half. Milwaukee chased him in the fourth inning earlier this year, and Chicago is 1-6 in his road starts with a minus-29 run differential. Five of those losses were by four runs or more. Hendricks is carrying a 6.87 ERA. Freddy Peralta had one stinker vs. the Cubs and was solid in his other start against them. The Brewers are one of the best home teams in MLB and the Cubs are bad on the road, as they struggle to score runs outside the Friendly Confines.

I am surprised this number didn't open at 15.5 or 16.5 considering Kyle Hendricks has failed to go 6+ IP in 8/9 starts this season. He is coming off his best start of the season where he 7 IP, however Hendricks threw a season high 100 pitches and had only eclipsed 90 pitches in one other start this season. He will face one of the tougher lineups against opposing righties in the Brewers.
