Analyzing the Cubs' performance in their past three games reveals a mixed bag of outcomes and statistics that could influence their approach against the Brewers. Despite a batting average of .281 in one game and managing ten hits in another, inconsistency has plagued them. Their hitting has fluctuated significantly, with a low of four hits indicating potential vulnerabilities in their lineup. However, they have shown resilience by scoring runs across different innings and demonstrating some power with home runs and extra-base hits.


The bullpen's ERA presents a concern for the Cubs, showcasing moments of high earned runs which contributed to losses. Yet, there were glimpses of effectiveness from both starters and relievers alike – highlighted by striking out opponents at crucial moments but also revealing areas needing improvement with WHIPs indicating runners frequently on base.

Fielding appears solid with a perfect fielding percentage across recent games; however, this defensive reliability must be matched by offensive consistency for success against the Brewers.


American Family Field is known for its unique characteristics that can influence game outcomes – from its retractable roof protecting against weather elements to how its dimensions play into hitters' strengths or weaknesses. The Cubs will need to adapt quickly to these conditions while leveraging any advantage they can find.
