Jon Lester will make his 4th start of the season, seeking win number 3. The Brewers will be starting Josh Lindblom, who has allowed 8 ERs in just 12.2 innings of work so far this year. Lester is looking very tough to beat right now, allowing just 2 runs in his 3 starts pitching 17 innings, leading to a 1.06 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP with a 2-0 record. Lester has excelled in his career against the Brewers, pitching a terrific 2.97 ERA in 69.2 innings. It’s hard to believe Christian Yelich is hitting .172 on the season. The former MVP winner does have 12 RBI’s but has not been as good as past seasons. That said I like the Cubs a lot here in this spot moneyline.
