The Milwaukee Brewers currently sit at first place in the competitive NL Central division. Now the Brew Crew has a crucial series against divisional foe, the Chicago Cubs. For other MLB action see our MLB Picks.

Milwaukee Brewers MLB Prop Bets - Sunday 5/5/24

Freddy Peralta Under 2.5 earned runs

Both Teams: No run first inning

Chicago Cubs: Team total Under

Freddy Peralta

Freddy Peralta has been a consistent pitcher that we have enjoyed backing almost every start in 2024. Peralta has a perfect 3-0 record, a 3.21 ERA, and is tenth in the MLB in K's. Peralta will have a worthy opponent on the mound for the Cubs and will bring his best stuff to match.

The Pick: Under 2.5 earned runs

Both teams

Along the same narrative we like Peralta Under, the Cubs also have a dynamo in Javier Assad. We will take advantage of the most exciting bet in baseball, the no run first inning (NRFI).

The Pick: No run first inning

Chicago Cubs

We expect this to be a low scoring game between two phenomenal pitchers, that goes well under the total. We lean toward the Brewers to win, so the safer prop to play is simply the Chicago Cubs to go under their team total.

The Pick: Team total Under 4.5
