nothing official until game 25, but...
Chicago Cubs @ Arizona - NO (-130) - 9:40 EST
oddsmaker
last season:
Lilly gave up a 1st inning run 23.5% overall and 21.1% on the road
Haren gave up a 1st inning run 19.4% overall and 18.8% at home
League Average was about 30.7%
this season:
Chicago 35.3% scored / 17.7% allowed
Arizona 16.7% scored / 11.1% allowed
Both pitchers are a combined 1-5 in giving up runs this season
career:
Chicago's 1-4 hitters .276 off Haren
Arizona's 1-4 hitters .213 off Lilly
I HATE playing favorites, but the numbers are just too strong on this one.
