MLB:Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs -by Bryan Leonard

Milwaukee at Chicago

Tough turnaround for the Brewers who played last night at home on ESPN against hated rival St Louis, only to jump on a plane and travel to Chicago for this afternoon matchup. Milwaukee has won only 4 of the last 11 games in Chicago. Doug Davis fared well against the Cubs last year but we’re not a big fan of the veteran lefty who is only asked to keep the game close with this Brewer offense.

Dempster remains one of the most underrated starters in baseball. The Cubs have won 5 of his last 7 starts against the Brewers. Last year the veteran righty faced Milwaukee twice on this mound holding the Brew Crew to a .222 average and four total runs.

Off to a disappointing 2-4 start we look for a big effort from Dempster and the Cubs in their home opener against a Brewer team still celebrating a nationally televised victory.
