When you write or even talk about baseball a lot, you end up making predictions that you’d never otherwise make. Objectively, looking at a series in Milwaukee in 2022 for the Cubs, I’d have to give you this analysis before the series began. The math points to three wins for the Brewers. Sweeping a team is hard, plus Kyle Hendricks has pitched better of late, so maybe the Cubs steal one. I might even note that they’ve played better of late, so maybe they hang around in these games.
I’d never predict that they would be a blown David Robertson save from a sweep of the series.
