Chicago Cubs (-130)

The Chicago Cubs look to avoid getting swept at home in their season opening series when they host the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon.
Milwaukee starter David Bush has been a slow starter in recent seasons, as his teams are just 4-11 in all of his April starts the last three years and he has a high 5.11 ERA in those outings. More importantly, Bush has failed to record a Quality Start in his last three appearances vs. the Cubs, allowing a total of 14 earned runs in 18 innings while surrendering 21 hits and a ghastly 15 walks.
Ryan Dempster returns to the starting rotation this season after bombing as the Cubs closer last season, and we feel he is much better suited for this role. Remember that he began his career as a starter and showed great promise when he came up with the Cincinnati Reds, and we feel he will be very serviceable once he is stretched out after a few starts. He should get in five or six decent innings today, which may be good enough for the victory as long as Bush’s April woes continue.
Look for the Cubs to salvage this win to avoid the home sweep.
