Nice spring day in the northeast, huh? Snowing hard right now. So sick of this $hitty weather. Anyway, on to the important stuff.


Taking Brewers -117

Like Capuano v. Milton match-up.

I know Capuano has traditionally struggled against the reds but I like him in this spot.

Milton, who is 16-24 with a 5.90 ERA in 61 career starts since joining the Reds in 2005

Milton (0-1, 6.35 ERA), who started on the disabled list with lower back spasms, allowed four runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings in the Reds' 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh on April 8.

Though Milton has not won Aug. 8, he's had some success against the Brewers, going 4-3 with a 3.93 ERA in eight career starts.

Chris Capuano (1-0, 4.35 ERA) has struggled against the Reds, going 1-3 with a 6.30 ERA in five career starts. The left-hander allowed two earned runs in 5 1-3 innings to earn the win in Milwaukee's 9-4 win over Chicago on April 8.

Adding Mets -102

Garcia in season debut, started on 15-day disabled list with right biceps tendinitis. John Maine (1-0, 1.54 ERA) has looked good.

Phils are a trainwreck waiting to happen every game. I'll take my chances at even money with the much better team.

Gut feeling. Just like to cubs to win in this spot. Also like the pitching match-up.

Hensley has pitched poorly, losing twice to the San Francisco Giants while giving up a total of 11 runs and failing to pitch through the fifth inning.

Last Tuesday, the 27-year-old right-hander gave up six runs - four earned - in 4 1-3 innings of a 6-5 loss, but denied a blister on his middle finger that developed in his season debut was bothering him.


The Cubs will send Jason Marquis to the mound on Monday. Marquis (0-1, 3.27) allowed three of his four runs in the first inning of his last outing, a 4-2 loss to Houston on Tuesday. He finished the day yielding four runs - three earned - four hits, and four walks in five innings of work.

The right-hander is 2-2 with a 4.63 ERA in five career appearances, including four starts, against the Padres.
