Player Analysis

Christian Yelich has been a standout performer for the Brewers this season. With a batting average of .320, Yelich has proven to be a consistent hitter. He has accumulated 15 home runs and 67 RBIs, showcasing his power and ability to drive in runs. In addition, Yelich has shown his speed on the bases, with a number of stolen bases to his name.

Yelich's ability to get on base and his aggressive baserunning make him a threat every time he steps up to the plate. Given his performance against the Cubs in previous matchups this season, he is likely to be a key player in this series.

Opposing Analysis

The Cubs' pitching staff will have their hands full with Yelich. Javier Assad, the probable starter for the Cubs, has a record of 4-3 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP in 85.1 innings pitched. While Assad has been effective, the Cubs' bullpen has shown inconsistencies, which could be exploited by Yelich and the Brewers' lineup.

Assad has allowed 12 home runs this season, and with Yelich's power, there is a good chance he could add to that tally. The Cubs' overall ERA of 3.81 ranks 11th in the league, indicating a solid but not impenetrable pitching rotation.

Player	W-L	ERA	WHIP	IP	H	K	BB	HR
T. Myers (MIL)	6-3	3.13	1.13	72.0	61	62	20	10
J. Assad (CHC)	4-3	3.27	1.35	85.1	80	79	35	12
