To begin today’s matchup, Julio Teheran will take over in the top of the first inning against the Chicago Cubs. Through seven starts this season, Teheran has been absolutely perfect, with a 7-0 NRFI record that includes a 4-0 home split. Through 23.0 innings, Teheran has a 1.57 ERA while on his home field, which directly correlates with his home start today.

NRFI Today - Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Prediction

Teheran will battle against a ball club that is much better at home versus on the road in terms of first-inning offensive production. On the road this season, the Cubs have only scored in 17.95% of their first innings while being 9-1 to the NRFI in their last ten games. With losing six of their last seven games, look for the lackluster Cubs offense to be limited in this first inning.

After Teheran, Drew Smyly will pitch the bottom of the first inning on the road. Smyly has been fantastic this season, posting a 2.74 away ERA and a 6-2 away NRFI record while going 12-4 (75%) overall to the NRFI through his 16 starts this season. Last season, Smyly demonstrated his first-inning success by going 18-4 (82%) to the NRFI. Historically, the odds remain on our side here for Smyly to dominate this Milwaukee Brewers lineup.

Drew Smyly will face the top of the Brewers lineup as the bottom of the first inning comes up. Through 40 home games this season, the Brewers have cashed 68% of those first innings coming into today. The current Brewers lineup has 31 at-bats versus Smyly, only totaling three hits (0.091 BA) with no extra-base hits, no home runs, and 11 strikeouts.
