All eyes will be on Sammy Sosa as the ex-Cub faces his former team at the Ballpark at Arlington. returns to Wrigley Field in search of his 600th homerun. And while "Slammin' Sammy" may very well get the historic blast this week, his team is dogged in today's series opener for good reason. First the Cubs have a decided advantage on the mound with Sean Marshall who is 3-2 with a 2.12 era. Marshall has posted quality starts in each of his five games, and could easily be 5-0 if he got any run support. The lefty beat the Mariners in his last game, giving up two runs on seven hits over a career-high eight innings. He did not walk a batter and was efficient, needing 94 pitches. He's never faced the Rangers. Robinson Tejada (5-7, 6.49 ERA) will oppose Marshall Tejada is 1-2 with a 9.19 ERA this month. Two other items of note. The Cubs are 6-2 in Marshall's last eight starts while the Rangers are just 3-8 in Tejada's last 11 starts. I like both the runline and moneyline as I side with the Cubs
