MLB : 2* CUBS/REDS UNDER
The Cubbies got 3 dingers from Aramis Ramirez last night as Chicago won their 4th straight and 6th of their last 7. Chicago is a game and a ½ up on Houston but trail the Giants by percentage points in the WC race.
Ivan is dispensing rain throughout the mid-west and northeast so the Great American turf may be a little soggy tonight for this one. Carlos Zambrano goes for Chicago and has a 2.18 ERA his last couple of starts. In 7 L/T trips to the hill against the Reds the right-hander has allowed 3 runs or less in 6 of the 7.
The Reds actually took a late lead last night before Wagner gave it back in the top of the 7th on Ramirez’ final HR of the evening. The Reds have now dropped 2 straight after winning 4 of 5.
Luke Hudson goes tonight and the right-hander has looked decent allowing 2 runs or less in 4 of his last 5 starts including back-to-back 6 inning, shutout performances where he’s given up only 4 hits.
