Recent history suggests good things for Braun, Brewers vs. Cubs

Published Jul. 30, 2015 4:10 p.m. ET

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.

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.

PLAYER OPPONENT RBI RUNS
Matt Kemp Rockies 103 82

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.
