Sunday Night Baseball: Cubs at Brewers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers (+128, 8.5)

The betting numbers

The Cubs opened as -130 favorites and were bet up to -140 rather quickly. The total opened at nine runs and is currently 8.5 at most books.

2008-09 season series

2008 saw the Cubs win the season series nine games to seven but the real story was the lack of a home-field advantage. The road team took 10 of those 16 games with Chicago winning five of the seven meetings at Miller Park.

The Brewers opened with a win in the first game of this series Friday but fell 6-5 to Chicago on a two-run home run from Alfonso Soriano in the ninth inning Saturday night.

The teams

The two top contenders in the National League Central square off on ESPN. The Cubs won their first series in Houston two games to one thanks to solid pitching and strong hitting. Chicago dropped Game 1 of this series Friday despite out-hitting the Brewers 9-4 and narrowly escaped with a one-run win Saturday.

It was the bullpen that was responsible for the first two losses this season, namely Kevin Gregg. He allowed a broken-bat single in the 10th inning in Houston and then took the loss Friday after surrendering a double, two walks and a wild pitch. The reserve arms almost caught the brunt of the blame again Saturday after Angel Guzman allowed two runs on two hits and walked two batters in 1/3 innings work.

Milwaukee lost its opening series in San Francisco. Jeff Suppan and Manny Parra were both lit up. Starting pitching looked to be the biggest issue entering the season and it is already a problem despite good performances from Braden Looper and Yovani Gallardo in the other two games.

The offense showed some life Saturday but is still hitting only .208 BA through the first six games. While it is early, the hitting will be asked to make up for pitching problems this year. Home field was huge for the Brewers last season and it will be just as important this year.

Pitching matchup

Ryan Dempster is making his second start of the season and he hopes to continue his domination against the Brewers. On opening day in Houston, he pitched well allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in six innings in a no-decision. He is coming off a phenomenal 2008 season where he went 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA in 33 starts. Any doubt that he would be unable to make the transition from bullpen to starter was quickly dismissed.

Against the Brewers, Dempster is 8-2 with a 2.45 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 35 career appearances that includes 13 starts. He posted a 2.40 ERA in five starts against Milwaukee with four of those being quality outings.

Suppan did not get off to the start he was looking for on opening day. He was tagged for six runs on six hits and a walk in just four innings. That extended his lousy finish from last season where he went 0-4 with a 9.25 ERA in six starts in September and October.

However, his best outings over that stretch came against the Cubs where he allowed just one run in five innings which was his second solid performance against Chicago last year. Those were sandwiched around a clunker of an effort at Wrigley where he allowed 11 runs in 3.2 innings in a 19-5 Brewers loss.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers [ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]

Cubs (-140, O/U 8.5): Ryan Dempster converted from a closer into a starter last season and responded by going 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA. Dempster went 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five starts versus Milwaukee in 2008, striking out 28 in 30 innings, and is 8-1 with a 2.92 ERA lifetime as a starter against the Brewers. The Cubs bullpen has been shaky, posting a 3.55 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, while sporting a 7/9 K/BB ratio. “He came in and did a heck of a job,” Piniella said of Carlos Marmol before quickly diffusing any controversy of him supplanting Gregg as the closer. “I said when the season started that there would be opportunities for both of them. (Sunday) if we get in a similar situation, Gregg will be in there.”

The Over is 13-4-2 in the last 19 meetings in Milwaukee.
The Under is 10-2 in the Cubs' last 12 games as a road favorite.

Key Injuries - C Geovany Soto (missed the last 3 games) is listed as Day-to-Day (shoulder).

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side Play of the Day)



Brewers: Jeff Suppan struggled in his 2009 debut, getting reached for six runs and six hits in four innings of Milwaukee’s 10-6 loss at San Francisco on Tuesday. Two of those hits - a triple by Travis Ishikawa and home run by Aaron Rowand - accounted for five of those runs. The right-hander went 1-1 in three starts totaling 15 innings against the Cubs last season. Suppan is 6-6 with a 3.60 ERA in 19 lifetime starts against Chicago. Cubs slugger Alfonso Soriano enters this game 7-for-39 (.179) with eight strikeouts against Suppan.

The Under is 12-3-1 in Suppan's last 16 starts following a team loss.
The Brewers are 5-16 in their last 21 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries - Closer Trevor Hoffman is on the 15-day DL (oblique).

PROJECTED SCORE: 3

Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers [ABC | 3:30 PM ET]

Celtics: “We’re mad we didn’t get the No. 1 seed,” said Paul Pierce. "It’s going to be on one of us in the East to beat them there,” Celtics guard Ray Allen said. “But we’re geared toward a month from now, knowing we might have to go into that building and win.” All-star Kevin Garnett will miss the game with a strained right knee, and backups Leon Powe and Brian Scalabrine are also sidelined. It will be the 20th game out of the last 24 Garnett has missed and the seventh in a row. The Celtics come into this game having won six straight overall, with the last five coming at home. The Celtics need one more win to clinch the East’s #2 seed.

The Celtics are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The Celtics are 41-16 ATS in their last 57 games as a road underdog.

Key Injuries - F Kevin Garnett (knee, missed the last 6 games) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 87



Cavaliers (-6.5, O/U 185.5): The Cavaliers might be tempted to rest up for the playoffs, but they still have the Western Conference to worry about. Cleveland needs two more wins to earn home court in a possible NBA finals matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, who beat the Cavs twice in the regular season. “You can’t think about the finals because you have to win in the first round,” forward LeBron James said. The Cavaliers, who are 38-1 in Cleveland so far this season, also have a chance to match the NBA record of 40-1 for the best home mark. The current record-holders: The 1985-86 Boston Celtics.

The Under is 13-3-1 in the Cavaliers' last 17 games as a home favorite.
The home team has won each of the last 14 meetings SU.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 94 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)
