3* Cubs (957) at Brewers: I'll back the ace over the No. 4 starter here. 27-year-old Carlos Zambrano tossed six sharp innings to get his first opening-day win in five chances, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday night. Zambrano allowed one run and five hits. Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez homered off Houston's Roy Oswalt. Milwaukee is home after a road trip to the West Coast. Zambrano has a 3.65 ERA against the free swinging Brewers, with 137 strikeouts in 140 innings and just 113 hits allowed. The Brewers have Dave Bush, a guy with below average stuff, whom the Cubs have simply owned over the year: a 7-1 against him with a 4.84 ERA.
Play the Cubs.
