i know harden is good and i would pick the cubs too. but Kuroda beat the cubs earlier this year in a 4 hitter, which most likely wont happen again but im not so hell bent that the cubs will win just b/c harden is pitching
and actually i just check he's beatin the cubs twice this year once a 4 hit shutout and once an 8 hit shutout. the 4 hit shutout was at dodger stadium, just fyi.
i have no idea, maybe bc its a "must win" for them or some crap like that but i saw on sportscenter that he has pitched against the cubs twice this year and given up very little to them, but who knows.
