Javier Assad (4-3, 3.04 ERA) vs. Tobias Myers (5-2, 3.12 ERA)
Javier Assad of the Cubs has been one of their shining lights this season, posting an admirable 3.04 ERA over 83 innings pitched and maintaining an excellent 1.28 WHIP to limit baserunners while giving his team an opportunity to win games. Furthermore, his impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio demonstrates his control and ability to escape tight situations – something which will come into play during high stakes games against an impressive Brewers lineup.
On the Brewers side of things, Tobias Myers has shown strong form with a 3.12 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 52 innings pitched, impressing both with his control and ability to limit hits for them. Although Myers may pitch fewer innings compared with Assad, his efficiency and game management give the Brewers an edge, especially thanks to stronger bullpens and offensive support.

Their home form has also been good which makes them rather more reliable for this encounter.
