Chicago has gone 10-6 against Milwaukee in 2018. The Cubs won eight of the first nine matchups, but have lost five of the last seven, falling victim to three shutouts. The Cubs are 5-1 at home against the Brewers this season after going 3-6 against the Brew Crew at Wrigley in 2017.

The Brewers have gone 9-2 since August 29, outscoring their opponents 65-41 over that span. Milwaukee is tied for the major league lead in runs since that date with the Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays, and the team's .818 win percentage in this span is the best in MLB.

The Cubs have dropped four of their last six games, scoring as many runs (12) in their two victories as in their four losses. The team will return to Chicago where it has won seven of eight behind an average of 6.13 runs.

Anthony Rizzo and Christian Yelich both have a .381 on-base percentage, with Rizzo edging Yelich by percentage points to rank sixth in the NL among qualifying left-handed hitters. The Brewers are 70-40 (.636) when Yelich reaches base at least once while the Cubs have gone 67-44 (.604) when Rizzo reaches.

Wade Miley faced the Cubs at home in his last start, going 6.0 innings and limiting Chicago to one run on three hits. In three career starts at Wrigley, Miley has allowed 11 earned runs in 19.0 innings (5.21 ERA), and has allowed 1.89 home runs per nine innings.

Jon Lester has thrown 158.0 innings in 2018, his 11th consecutive season with at least that many innings pitched. Lester is tied for the longest active streak in MLB with Zack Greinke, who also has thrown at least 150.0 innings in every season since 2008.

CHICAGO -- If the Chicago Cubs are going to stave off the Milwaukee Brewers down the stretch for their third straight National League Central Division title, finding ways to win tight ballgames will be key.
And if that's to happen, their pitching will have to certainly do its part, which loomed large as the Cubs were able to push their divisional lead back to two games heading into Wednesday's series finale at Wrigley Field.

Series finale crucial for both Cubs, Brewers

CHICAGO (AP) - Although the Milwaukee Brewers still trail in the NL Central, they believe the pressure has shifted to the first-place Cubs.
Curtis Granderson homered, tripled and scored three runs, Lorenzo Cain added three hits and the Brewers beat Chicago 5-1 on Wednesday night to move within a game of the division lead.
