This is his seventh start against against the Brewers
Jose Quintana has taken the mound against the Brewers six times already this season. That's as weird as it sounds, because it means he's started in every series the two teams have had this year.
Cubs. Brewers. 1 game to decide the division.

Josh Hader in his career vs. the Cubs: 7-for-58, 29 strikeouts, 1 HR.
He pitches well against the Brewers
Quintana's success against Milwaukee isn't just about this season. In 10 starts over his career, he's 6-2 with a 1.60 earned run average. In other words, he's very good. The 2.17 ERA this year has actually raised his career numbers.
Jose Quintana, who has a 1.60 ERA in 10 career starts against the Brewers, will start for the Cubs in Game 163 on Monday at Wrigley Field.
