The Cubs are hosting the Brewers in what could finally be a make-or-break series. The NL is so mid on the whole that the Cubs keep managing to brush each new shovel of dirt from their coffin, but dropping another two of three here might leave them buried for good. Milwaukee only has so much luck left though, so who knows.
Javier Assad is back on the bump for the second time since returning from a forearm issue, and he’ll need to be better than his last time out lest this series get off to a rough start.
