Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester lasted 3 1/3 innings in his Opening Day start against the Marlins and had trouble finishing his pitches. He served up seven hits and walked three. He has always been a slow starter in the season.
This is a hitters ballpark and likely to be a high scoring affair between these two teams.

The Brewers just lost 6-0 to the Cardinals in their last game. The Brewers had 24 runs in their previous 4 games prior to that. You have a Milwaukee team that comes off getting its first shutout on the offensive side, will get up to face Lester and the Cubs and will be at home on a night game on Thursday Night and likely get their bats going. Lastly. the Over is 9-1 in Lester's last 10 starts and the Over is 5-2 when Lester faces a team with a winning record as well.
