Davis hopes to give Brewers series win over Rockies
Baseball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Brewers' offense set the pace last night in the club's
first victory of the young season. Now an old friend will try to help them to
their first series win over the Rockies in three seasons.
Doug Davis returns to the Milwaukee rotation this afternoon in the rubber
match of a three-game series with Colorado at Miller Park.
After falling behind by a run in the top of the first inning on an RBI single
by the Rockies' Todd Helton, Casey McGehee responded in the bottom of the
frame with a three-run homer, and Rickie Weeks also went deep in helping guide
the Brewers to a 7-5 victory. Milwaukee snapped a seven-game skid to Colorado
that included a 5-3 loss on Opening Day on Monday.
Prince Fielder reached base four times, going 2-for-2 with a pair of walks,
scored three times and drove in a run, while Randy Wolf (1-0) gave up four
runs on nine hits over 6 2/3 innings of his Milwaukee debut while striking out
eight. Trevor Hoffman notched his 592nd career save despite allowing a run in
the ninth.
"The fans here are great. Milwaukee isn't the biggest city; I think this team
is very exciting to the fans, and that was one of the factors in coming over
here (from the Dodgers)," said Wolf, who signed a three-year deal this
offseason. "I like watching the team when I'm not pitching."
Wolf will be followed today by another new face to Milwaukee's rotation,
though Davis is hardly a stranger in Wisconsin. The left-hander pitched with
the Brewers from parts of the 2003 season through all of 2006 before spending
the last three seasons with Arizona. Davis signed a one-year deal with the
Brewers this past winter.
Davis was 9-14 with a 4.12 earned run average in 34 starts last year with
Arizona and topped 200 innings for the first time since 2006 with the Brewers.
The 34-year-old will try to snap a four decision losing streak to the Rockies
this afternoon and post his first win over the club since April 15, 2007. He
is just 2-6 with a 4.97 ERA in his career versus Colorado and he lost all
three starts versus the club last year, allowing 15 runs over 13 1/3 innings
of work.
Davis will try to slow down the Rockies' Ian Stewart, who has homered in
consecutive games to begin the season. Stewart fell a single shy of the cycle
in last night's loss as Colorado failed to post its first 2-0 start since
2001. He is 3-for-8 lifetime against Davis with a home run.
Helton ended with three hits and Carlos Gonzalez drove in two runs, but Greg
Smith (0-1) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks in five innings
in his first major league appearance since 2008 while with Oakland.
"Certainly, I would have liked to have the first inning back," said Rockies
manager Jim Tracy. "We were a foul tip from getting out of that inning with a
zero. That was the difference in the game as far as I'm concerned."
Right-hander Aaron Cook will try to help the Rockies avoid their first series
loss to the Brewers since they dropped two of three in Milwaukee on July
13-15, 2007. Colorado has gone 14-4 over its last 18 overall encounters with
the Brew Crew and has taken four of its last five at Miller Park as well.
Cook won 16 games in 2008 and finished last season 11-6 with a 4.16 ERA in 27
starts a season ago. The 31-year-old has enjoyed facing the Brewers, a club he
is 6-2 against lifetime with a 3.02 ERA. Cook hasn't lost to Milwaukee since
Aug. 22, 2006 and he held the club to a run over eight innings when he last
faced them, a 9-2 victory on Oct. 1 that clinched a playoff berth for
Colorado.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
