The Milwaukee Brewers had the edge on the Chicago Cubs last year for a good chunk of the season. The Cubs caught fire late and passed them, so the often unproductive lineup of the Brewers was bolstered in the offseason as they acquired Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain. Unfortunately, they did little to bolster their pitching, and in their three-game series with the Cardinals, the starters provided a woeful 6.07 ERA. Cubs send Jon Lester to the mound, but he failed to get out of the fourth inning in his first start. It sure looks like the offensive attacks on both teams is offering more this season, while the pitching is better suited for a higher-scoring contest. Play on the OVER.
