The Chicago Cubs host the LA Dodgers tonight at Wrigley Field for
game 3. The Cubs have lost the first two games to the Dodgers. The
Cubs have been getting terrible pitching in both those games. Carlos
Zambrano only lasted 4.1 innings, in their first meeting. In their
second game Steve Trachsel lasted 6 innings. What’s up with
the Cubs pitching?
Good thing for the Chicago Cubs tonight is that their best pitcher
Ted Lilly (LP) (13-7, 3.89 ERA) will be on the mound. Lilly is currently
7-5 at home with an ERA of 4.03. In his last three starts he’s
0-2 with an ERA of 5.29. The Cubs have a home record of 37-35 and
are 4-6 in their last 10 games.
Pitching for the LA Dodgers tonight will be reliever Eric Stults
(LP) (1-2, 4.23 ERA). He’s currently 0-1 on the road with
an ERA of 4.26 and is 1-1 in his last 3 games. The Dodgers are 36-33
on the road and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. One good thing about
having a reliever start is that they come out smokin; it’s
just a matter of how long he can last. That’s OK though the
Dodgers have the bullpen to back it up.
Bottom Line: Now I know that Ted Lilly is the favorite
to win tonight but he’s only 4-7 at home. Even though they
have a great starter the only other things going for the Cubbies
is power and defense. The Dodgers on the other hand have the backup
in the bullpen, great hitting and explosive speed.
The Dodgers took both games in Chicago and are feeling pretty
good about themselves, let’s see if the Dodgers can steal
game 3 away from the Cubs.

this fight at SBG Global
Teams always play the Super Bowl champs tough. Everyone knows they
Champs get a tougher schedule and team always want to prove themselves
against the champs. Head to head The Saints have a 5-4 edge in their
all-time series with the Colts and everyone will be jacked up to
play against the champs for the opening game of the NFL season.
No team wants to be blown out and the Saints will keep this game
close because Drew can match pass for pass with Manning and he has
as many weapons as Manning does.
Bottom Line: New Orleans has cashed 19 of its
last 26 on the road against teams with a winning record and 14 of
19 as road dogs of six points or more. The Saints have also 'covered'
eight of their last nine road openers. Indianapolis has come up
short in nine of its last 13 as favorites in its first home game.
The Colts have come away with the cash in six of their last seven
when facing playoff teams. Prior Super Bowl champs are just 7-13-1
ATS when making their initial title defense.
The Colts will win this game straight up but take the Saints on
the spread
