Pick: Chicago Cubs -164 (Jimmy Boyd)
The Cubs enter tonight’s contest with some momentum after a convincing win over the reigning NL champs. I like the Cubs at home again tonight with Silva on the hill. Silva has been rock solid at Wrigley in 2010, going 4-2 with an ERA of 2.90. It is also important to note that the Cubs are 6-1 in Silva’s last 7 starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Astros bring Rodriguez to the hill, and I fully expect his road struggles to continue. He is just 2-6 with an ERA of 5.79 on the road this season. In fact, the Astros are 3-13 in Rodriguez’s last 16 road starts and 0-7 in his last 7 Monday starts. It also can’t be overlooked that Houston is 0-9 in road games when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 38% to 46%) in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons, losing to these teams by an average score of 2.4 to 6.3. Take the Cubbies.

Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -115 (Tony George)
Wha a Cheap number for a team, in the Brewers, considering they have DOMINATED the Pirates cashing in 11 out of the last 14 in this series and just wood shedded them right before the all star break with a 3-0 sweep. Pitt is weak against lefties at the plate and while Capuano is no stud for the Brew Crew, their bullpen has been red hot as of late and will bail them out in this game. The dominance of the Brewers in this series is well doumented and they are off a 2-2 split with the Braves and smelling blood in the water here. Better overall pitching and bullpen, bat power and better team.

Pick: Detroit Tigers -118 (Steve Janus)
Look for the Tigers to get back on track back in Detroit on Monday against the Texas Rangers. The Tigers lost 5 straight, including being swept in 4 games by the Cleveland Indians. At home in this series they should fare better. Jeremy Bonderman gets the start for Detroit. Bonderman has been at his best at home this season. In his 8 home starts the Tigers are 5-3 while Bonderman has posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. Bonderman is opposed by the Rangers’ Scott Feldman. Feldman is 5-8 on the season with a 5.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. The Rangers have lost in each of his last 3 starts.
