The Cubs have gone 9-4 against the Brewers in 2018. Chicago won the most recent game, 8-4, on August 15, but had been shut out in each of its previous three games with Milwaukee.

Jose Quintana, Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester started the three games in Chicago's most recent series in Philadelphia, and each went six innings in his start. Between them, the pitchers allowed two earned runs and walked only three batters while striking out 18 Phillies.

Chicago has gone 10-2 since August 22, scoring 6.60 runs per game in victories over that span. Milwaukee has won four of its last five games, and will return home where the team has won two straight series.

Ben Zobrist has increased his OPS from .693 last year to .847 this year, good for the largest increase (+.154) in the National League. Right behind him is Christian Yelich, who has gone from .807 to .940, the second-largest increase (+.133) (minimum 400 PA both seasons).

Cole Hamels has allowed three earned runs in 39.0 innings as a Cub (0.69 ERA), and has not allowed a home run after posting a 1.81 HR/9 with the Rangers. No Cub pitcher in the live-ball era has posted a lower ERA through six starts than Hamels' 0.69 mark.

Zach Davies will return from the disabled list to make his first start since May 29. Davies has made 12 starts against the Cubs in his career, pitching to a 3.64 ERA. He has allowed three or fewer earned runs in six straight starts against the Northsiders.

MILWAUKEE -- Major League Baseball knew what it was doing when it scheduled six games between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs during the final month of the regular season.
The teams will meet for the first of those games on Monday afternoon at Miller Park, where the Brewers will try to close a five-game gap on the National League Central leaders while also trying to hold off the St. Louis Cardinals in a tight NL wild-card race.

Brewers try to make up ground on Cubs in three-game series

MILWAUKEE (AP)  Christian Yelich beat out a throw at first to narrowly avoid a double play that allowed the winning run to score in the ninth.
Game over, but the jubilant Yelich kept going - and turned across the outfield - before the rest of the happy Milwaukee Brewers finally caught up with him in short left.
