The juice is heavy here, but that’s nothing new with our NRSI picks. This game has the lowest total on the day of just 6.5 runs. I love this one and think we found a gem of a juice reducer.

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

First off, Brandon Woodruff to allow 2+ hits may not be directly correlated to the NRSI, but the hit rate is wild. In the last 53 regular season games that Woodruff has pitched, he has allowed 2+ hits in 52 of them. An over 98% hit rate juice reducer is music to my ears.

Woodruff does well against these Chicago bats to the point where I like him to have a scoreless second but still allow two hits. Woodruff has only allowed 17 hits in 99 at-bats by these Cubs bats, which is a great sign of a scoreless second inning. I see him going six innings and maybe allowing four hits here.

We need three outs from Justin Steele, too, in the second. This man faced off against the Brewers six times last year. In all six games, he didn’t allow a run in the second inning. These Brewers bats are only hitting a combined .190 against him and have just six RBIs in 84 at-bats. This game's total is 6.5 for a good reason, except for a scoreless second inning. Our juice reducer has hit in his last 53/54 regular season games. Let's hope for another winning day, and let's roll!
