Brewers Look to Forget Yesterday's Beatdown in Wrigley Rematch

The Brewers stumble back into Wrigley Field on Tuesday hoping yesterday's 17-3 shellacking was just a bad dream and not a sign their September push is already off the rails. Getting boat-raced by fourteen runs in a division game is never a good look, especially when you were the betting favorite. DarkHorse whiffed on Milwaukee at -105, and frankly, so did anyone who thought the Crew would show up ready to play.

Now the question is whether this is a get-right spot or the start of a genuine slide. The Cubs smelled blood yesterday and pounced—seventeen runs doesn't happen by accident. Their bats were locked in, and Milwaukee's pitching staff looked like it was serving batting practice fastballs on a tee.

For the Brewers, this is a character test. Do they flush it and come out swinging, or does the stink linger? The Cubs, meanwhile, have all the momentum and the home crowd buzzing. They'll be licking their chops for another crack at a Milwaukee squad that looked utterly lost twenty-four hours ago.

DarkHorse hasn't weighed in on tonight's rematch yet, but after yesterday's disaster, you can bet the market will be skeptical of the Brewers until they prove otherwise.
