I like the home team Brewers if I had to bet .

Chicago is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games against an opponent in the National League.

For this game that stat is absolutely meaningless. We already know the Cubs are 2-2 SU in this series vs an NL opponent, so that leaves that stat telling us that the Cubs are 6-2 in their previous 8 vs NL teams. But what were the records of those teams? If they had losing records, those games aren't statistically relevant here as the Brewers have a winning record. What venue were those 8 games played at? Those games played in Chicago aren't statistically relevant here.

Here's the relevant comparative stat...

Chicago is 2-10 SU its last 12 road games against an opponent in the NL with an overall winning record.

It’s the playoffs, anything goes. Those last 12 on the road are meaningless stats when they were already a shoe-in for the playoffs. Plus late season fatigue, just going day to day with nothing to play for at the time so to speak. It’s Game 5 of the NLDS, win or go home. Everything to play for with balls to the wall mentality. GIVE ME THE CUBBIES ML. Momentum and dawgs 

Whatever you say, champ. Cubs now 2-11 SU last 13 road games vs NL teams with winning records.
