After a rough road trip, could playing Chicago Cubs at Miller Park be just what the doctor ordered for the Milwaukee Brewers?
If recent play means anything, then yes, yes it is.
Over the last five seasons, the Brewers have dominated the Cubs at home.

OPPONENT |
RECORD | WIN PCT. |
| Astros (as NL team) | 11-4 | .733 |
| Cubs | 29-11 | .725 |
| Marlins | 10-4 | .714 |
| Pirates | 28-14 | .667 |
On a player level, Ryan Braun might be licking his chops as well. He has had as much production against Chicago than any player against any National League opponent in the last seven years.
75+ RBI & 75+ RUNS VS. NL TEAM SINCE 2008
| PLAYER | OPPONENT | RBI | RUNS |
| Matt Kemp | Rockies | 103 | 82 |
| Matt Kemp | Diamondbacks | 87 | 84 |
| Ryan Braun | Pirates | 86 | 92 |
| Ryan Braun | Cubs | 80 | 75 |
| David Wright | Marlins | 78 | 77 |
The Brewers might be catching the Cubs at the right time, too. From July 22-28, Chicago allowed five or more runs and 10 or more hits in seven straight games, tied for the longest streak this season.
