This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Brewers.

I got down early and have a better line than what's currently available, but regardless, I really love the Brewers here on Opening Day and I think that they should/could in fact be much larger favorites in this matchup.

Milwaukee is loaded with talent and it's gunning for its fifth straight playoff berth. Corbin Burnes was 11-5 with a 2.43 ERA for Milwaukee last season.

Kyle Hendricks was 14-7 with a 4.77 ERA for the Cubs last year.

Milwaukee finished 95-67 last year, while Chicago was 71-91.

Both have had success against his respective opponent today in the past, but Milwaukee's deadly line-up will be the difference-maker in the end:

"This team knows what it's like to go to the playoffs -- the players talk about taking the next step," Milwaukee owner Mark Attanasio remarked last month.

"That's the mission. 'Ueck' has got one World Series ring. We tell him we want to get him a second one."

The play is MILWAUKEE.

Good luck, NP
