The durable Jeff Suppan gets the starting nod for the Brewers in the second game of the Brewers three game set with the Cubs. Jeff went 12-12 with a 4.62 ERA last season, and was one of the Brewers main inning eaters throwing a shade under 207 total. He lost three of his final five road starts last season, and only managed one win in three starts against the Chicago Cubs. Chicago’s hitters are very familiar with Suppan since he’s been in the NL Central the last six or so years, so look for them to awaken today against his junk.Ted Lilly made a very nice transition to the National League last season after coming over from Toronto as a free agent. He went 15-8 overall last season with a 3.83 ERA. He churned out a K/BB ratio of 175/55 and only surrendered 181 hits in 207 innings of work. The Cubs won four of his last five home starts, but he went 1-1 with a 5.29 ERA against Milwaukee last year. That said, he took care of business against the Brew Crew at home, and I expect more of the same today.
The Cubs had the upper hand over Milwaukee last season winning nine of their 15 overall meetings, but they only posted a 5-4 SU mark against the Brewers in Wrigley. After dropping yet another in heart wrenching fashion to open up the year, look for the Cubbies to rebound and even up the season series at a game apiece.
