Yesterday, the Cubs (62-44) faced the Brewers (60-46) ace, C.C. Sabathia.  Today, the roles are reversed and Milwaukee faces Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano (11-4, 2.96). The Cubs don’t catch a break, however, as they have to face the starting pitcher for the National League All Stars, Ben Sheets (10-3, 2.87). Yesterday’s game was a thrilling, even matchup and we expect more of the same today. Both pitchers have ERA’s below 3, so don’t expect this to be an offensive game.

Consider these criteria when determining a pick between the Cubs and the Brewers:

- The Cubs are 7-13 in their last 20 road games

- The Brewers are 19-9 in their own division, the NL Central

- Carlos Zambrano has been dominant against the Brewers, giving up one earned run in 13 innings

- Zambrano threw 125 pitches in his last outing, Thursday

- Despite the loss last night, the Brewers are still much better at home than Chicago is on the road: Brewers home record: 32-20, Cubs road record: 23-30

The Detroit Tigers (52-50) are currently 6.5 games back of the Chicago White Sox (58-43) in the AL Central standings. It very easily could have been 5.5 games back as they blew their lead going into the top of the ninth to lose 6-5 Friday. It was the second straight comeback win for Chicago, and their 16th in their last 24 games. The go ahead HR was hit by All-star roster snubbed Jermaine Dye who had this to say about the game, “A big game for them getting back into the race and we stole one.” With two outs in the top of the ninth and one man on base, Dye stepped to the plate against Tigers closer Todd Jones. After a quick 2-0 count, Dye hit the next pitch over the fence to give Chicago the lead, and they never looked back. D.J. Carrasco was given the win for pitching the eight, and Bobby Jenks was given the save. Todd Jones was tacked with the loss.
