Pregame analysis and predictions of the Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB game to be played on May 2, 2025 on ESPN.

The Brewers game against the Cubs on May 2 won't air in the usual places; it's going to be the first AppleTV+ game of the season.

Dansby Swanson, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki all took Pirates ace Paul Skenes deep in the fifth inning as the Cubs pulled away for an 8-3 victory on Thursday. Suzuki later added a two-run shot off reliever Kyle Nicolas as Chicago took two of three from the last-place Pirates.

It was the last of three homers that the Cubs hit off Skenes in the fifth inning, following Dansby Swanson and Kyle Tuckers’ solo shots. Those three runs gave the Cubs their first lead of the game. And for good measure, Suzuki added a two-run homer in the seventh inning off reliever Kyle Nicolas.

Paul Skenes, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year, just posted the least dominant and arguably worst start of his career.
