The Brewers travel south to Chicago today to face the division rival Chicago Cubs.

This is an important series because the two teams are rivals and because the Milwaukee doesn't want to fall any further behind division leading Chicago. Chicago is currently 2 games ahead of the Brewers, and 1 game ahead of the Cardinals.

Furthermore, the Brewers are coming off a pretty disapointing home stand, going 4-5 at home, going 1-2 against the Marlins, and losing a lot of close games. The Brewers need to win a few to regain their momentum.

I think they can. I think they can win 2 of 3 against the Chicago Cubs in this series. The pitching matches up well for them. Sheets is back from injury, and he is not facing Chicagos ace Zambrano, but Marquis instead. Marquis is good (1-0) but he is no Zambrano. Then the Brewers bring out Suppan against Dempster. Dempster is 3-0, but Suppan has been pitching great so far this season. Finally the Brewers bring out Gallardo against Zambrano.

I see the Brewers winning the first two games against the Cubs. Our offense has been struggling, but I think Cameron should be in the lineup for the Chicago series, and our hitters are bound to shake off this funk. The Brewers pitching is solid, they just need some run support.
