I’m breaking down the decisive showdown between Chicago and Milwaukee with my Cubs vs. Brewers player props for NL Divisional Series Game 5.

The Brewers are -130 moneyline favorites and still have an edge on the Cubs in the World Series odds despite dropping two straight at Wrigley Field. First pitch is set for 8:08 p.m. ET from Wrigley Field in Chicago (TBS). 

My MLB picks for Game 5 include backing a pair of Cubs hitters, while also expecting Milwaukee’s William Contreras to step up.

💰  Best player prop picks for Cubs vs. Brewers Game 5

Our MLB player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 0.5 hits (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

PCA has enjoyed his time at American Family Field, slashing .364/400/.864 with three home runs, six runs scored, two doubles, and seven RBIs in Milwaukee during the regular season. 

Even though it’s been a relatively quiet series at the plate for Crow-Armstrong, I still think this is a good spot for him to find his way into the boxscore with a hit.

A $10 bet on Crow-Armstrong to record a hit yields a profit of $8.00 at BetMGM. The -125 odds have an implied probability of 55.56%. I especially like the value of -125, as FanDuel offers this player prop at -150.


⬆️ William Contreras Over 0.5 RBIs (+175) ⭐⭐

Contreras had four hits in nine at-bats with a home run and two RBI in Game 1 and 2 in Milwaukee.

He was a much better hitter at American Family Field during the regular season, posting an .817 OPS compared to a .699 mark on the road.

A $10 wager on Contreras to drive in at least one run would provide a profit of $17.50 at FanDuel and has an implied probability of 36.36%.

⬆️ Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (+110) ⭐⭐⭐

Tucker elevated his game with the Cubs facing elimination, registering four hits in six at-bats, three runs scored, and three walks over the last two games.

He had an .826 OPS against lefties and an .849 OPS against right-handed pitching during the regular season, which should neutralize any huge matchup advantage should the Brewers throw a handful of different arms at Tucker in Game 5.

A $10 winning wager on Tucker to hit the over on this player prop would provide a profit of $11.00. The implied probability of the +110 odds is 47.62% at BetMGM.
