Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers (2026-06-28). Ryan Rolison vs Brandon Woodruff at American Family Field.
Ryan Rolison, the Cubs' left-hander, enters this contest with a 1.82 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 29.2 innings this season, demonstrating strong control with a 3.94 BB/9 and an 8.8 K/9. His recent trend shows a "down" ERA, indicating improvement, and he has not recorded a blow-up start this season. However, his quality start percentage is 0, suggesting he has not consistently pitched deep into games. Brandon Woodruff, the Brewers' right-hander, boasts a 3.00 ERA and an impressive 0.89 WHIP over 36 innings, with a significantly lower BB/9 of 1.75 and a K/9 of 8.75. Woodruff's ERA trend is "up," suggesting a slight regression in recent outings, but he maintains a 33.3% quality start rate and has also avoided any blow-up starts.
The Cubs' offense features a .242 batting average and a .740 OPS, scoring 409 runs this season, while their pitching staff holds a 4.27 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP, with a 7.93 K/9. The Brewers' offense has a slightly better .253 batting average and a .730 OPS, accumulating 415 runs, indicating a comparable offensive output. On the pitching side, Milwaukee's staff has a superior 3.42 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, complemented by a higher 9.9 K/9, suggesting a more dominant pitching performance overall. The Brewers' pitching staff also allows significantly fewer home runs, with 77 compared to the Cubs' 126.
In their recent head-to-head matchups from 2025, the Cubs and Brewers split their 13 contests, with the Cubs holding a slight edge in wins. Given the strong pitching matchup, particularly from Brandon Woodruff, and the Brewers' generally superior team pitching metrics, recent historical data does not strongly suggest a high-scoring affair. The total line is not available for this specific game.
