The I-94 Rivalry has lived up to its billing, and the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers will hit American Family Field in a win-or-go-home showdown on Saturday, October 11.<\/p>\n
Here are my top MLB props<\/a> for the winner-take-all Game 5 of the National League Division Series.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Cubs vs Brewers Game 5 props<\/p>\n Player<\/p>\n Run in 1st inning: Yes<\/p>\n <<+105>><\/a><\/p>\n Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI<\/p>\n <<+105>><\/a><\/p>\n Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 0.5 total bases<\/p>\n <<-129>><\/a><\/p>\n Cubs vs Brewers player prop picksProp #1: Run in 1st inning: Yes<\/p>\n +105 at Caesars<\/a><\/p>\n The Chicago Cubs<\/a> and Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> have combined for a record-breaking 21 first-inning runs through the first four games of the NLDS, so I\u2019m happy to take the Yes hitting in this market for a fifth consecutive game at plus-money odds.<\/p>\n Obviously, there\u2019s a world of unknowns with the starters unannounced, but quick starts have been part and parcel for both teams to start the series.<\/p>\n Prop #2: Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI<\/p>\n +105 at Caesars<\/a><\/p>\n Cubs star Kyle Tucker<\/a> went 4-for-6 with three runs and an RBI the past two games at Wrigley Field, and he\u2019s quietly up to a rock-solid .304 batting average and .385 wOBA during the postseason.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Of course, the four-time All-Star has also posted an impressive .380 wOBA, .237 ISO and .900 OPS against righties over the past three years.<\/p>\n I\u2019m expecting multiple plate appearances for Tucker against right-handed pitchers in Game 5, too.<\/p>\n Prop #3: Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 0.5 total bases<\/p>\n -129 at Caesars<\/a><\/p>\n With a 2-for-14 run at the dish in the NLDS, it\u2019s been anything but a banner series for Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, there\u2019s no pinch-hit risk because of his defense, and he did hit .271 against righties during the regular season.<\/p>\n I also value that his odds to record a hit are a short -157 at Caesars, so betting his Over 0.5 total bases offers a positive expected value of 8% on the numbers alone.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n How to watch Cubs vs Brewers and Game 5 info<\/p>\n Location<\/p>\n American Family Field, Milwaukee, WI<\/p>\n Date<\/p>\n Saturday, October 11, 2025<\/p>\n First pitch<\/p>\n 8:08 p.m. ET<\/p>\n TV<\/p>\n TBS<\/p>\n Odds are correct at the time of publishing and are subject to change.
