SportsLine's model simulated Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs 10,000 times and revealed its MLB picks for Monday afternoon's Game 1 matchup at Wrigley Field in Chicago
Chicago Cubs starter Cade Horton left Game 1 of Monday’s doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers in the third inning with a blister.
All true. But even though the Brewers’ 14-game winning streak ended Sunday with a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings, their record is best in the majors by six games. The team that opened the season with the sport’s eighth lowest payroll is putting the competition to shame.
One of their most impressive wins during that franchise-record 14-game win streak came on Friday night. The Brewers faced an 8-1 deficit after two innings against the Reds and clawed their way back on the strength of two homers and five RBI from Christian Yelich — doing so while using his customized Bob Uecker bat for player’s weekend.

It might not be reflected in the standings, but the comparison between the Angels and the best team in baseball is obvious to at least one former All-Star.
Craig Counsell has become more than chilly about the Cubs looking up at his former team in the standings ... and apparently, George Webb burgers.
