We will see if pulling Adrian Houser a little on the early side in Houser's last outing in Oakland will make him stronger in this start against Chicago. Houser has a rested Pomeranz and Hadr behind him if necessary. Hopefully Wilkerson can be the glue to join where Houser leaves and the closers enter. I do think the Brewer left handed power bats should neutralize Yu Darvish. And I'm still not convinced in the solidity of the Cubs bullpen. The way to look at this game is that the Brewers feel this is more than just preventing a 3 game sweep by the Cubs, it's the Brewers trying to pull even with the Cubs by combining the home series the played with the Cubs and this series. If the Brewers win it's 3-3in terms of games won by each team. If the Brewers lose they'll be 2-4 in the two series. So far this year, it's been very difficult to break away from the equilibrium line of 50/50.
