Cubs/Brewers Series?

Question

With the Cubs beating Sabathia today do the Cubs put themselves in a position to take this series. The Brewers basically need to face 3 more aces in Zambrano, Harden and Dempster.

Next 3 games

Zambrano (11-4, 2.96 ERA ) vs. Sheets (10-3, 2.87 ERA)

Dempster (11-4, 2.99 ERA) vs. Parra (9-3, 3.72 ERA)

Harden (since joing the Cubs 0-1 w/2 ND, 1.04 ERA 30K's) vs. Bush(5-8, 4.51 ERA)

I think if the Cubs can beat Sheets tomorrow they have a very good chance to sweep the Brewers and come out of Milwaukee with a 5 game lead.

Answer 1

I have a feeling Brewers take the next 3 if they win tomorrow. They just look pumped. Cubs will still win division. My angels shall win it all though :)

Answer 2

There is a possibility but a lot of things need to happen. Ramirez and Soto need to pick it up a little, they're not to scary right now. Also I don't think Wood will be back before this series is over. So Zambrano and Dempster need to work into the late innings to conserve the pen with Harden on a low pitch count. Samardzija, Gaudin, and Marmol could be the key to the rest of the series.

Answer 3

Brewers will win the next 3.

Answer 4

I don't see how the Brewers can win any of the games!

Answer 5

I don't think the Cubs sweep & they only won the first game & aren't in a good position for  a sweep as someone stated.  it's only the first game of the series & take one game at a time & don't get ahead of yourselves.

Answer 6

your a stupid flatlander!  but they just need to shake it off.

Answer 7

I've got my broom out.

Odds are.. yea yea whatever. Hopeful die hard Cubs fan here, Heck,they are due for a sweep. That's right I said it.

And I agree about our chances after getting through CC.

They go in to tonight's game with health, fan support, and a h**l of a lot of confidence!

With  half the fans in the stands for the Cubbies, It is like playing at home!

Answer 8

The Big Blue Train known as the Cubs offense is on the tracks again. CHOO CHOO!! They will sweep and eat Milwaukee.

Answer 9

Surely you've noticed that the Cubs don't play well on the road. The Brewers are also much better at home. Home vs. road:

Zambrano (5-4, 3.84 ERA ) vs. Sheets (4-2, 2.96 ERA)

Dempster (1-3, 3.42 ERA) vs. Parra (5-1, 3.15 ERA)

Harden vs. Bush (4-2, 2.85 ERA)

That doesn't look as favorable to the Cubs, does it? It won't be easy for the Brewers, but it would be pretty shocking if they are swept. If I had to guess, I would predict a split.

Answer 10

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I don't think 1 game will tell you or anyone else what is in store the next 3 games. If you watched or listened to last nights game we didn't know what to expect from inning to inning.

Answer 11

That was rude, Erin M. I don't think the Cubs will sweep, but they are in a good position to do so. The problem is that they have a tough time on the road.
