Storylines: Patience could be key as baseball's best walk-drawing teams meet. The Cubs are tops with 181, while the Brewers have 157. The Brewers bullpen has a 1.59 ERA in the last 10 games, so the Cubs might want to get to their starters early.
Trending: The Cubs are 15-3 in the NL Central and 13-3 on the road entering this nine-game trip. Jason Heyward is batting .357 during his current seven-game hitting streak. The Brewers' Ryan Braun is batting .414 with four home runs, 20 RBIs and a 1.106 OPS in his last 23 games.
