1-1 so far this week after yesterday's clunker. My goal is 4-3 each week to return a profit.
CUBS -105
Great pitching match-up that favors Zambrano. He has been an Astros killer during his career and has been incredibly good at Minute Maid Park. Chicago has won his last 4 starts vs. HOU. On the other side, Oswalt has not enjoyed great success vs. CHI. HOU has lost his last 4 vs. the Cubs. It also helps when people write idiotic stuff like this to help you along the way ...

YES, because they play INSIDE the heat should be a LARGE factor. Jagoff! Makes me like the Cubs even more.
TB-DET Over 9.5 (-120)
This # is an absolute gift. Take it before it jumps to 10. Shields' away starts have gone over in 7 of 10, the same record as his last 10 starts overall. Durbin goes for DET, his 1st start in about 6 weeks. His stamina could come into play as a result and this game likely goes to the bullpens which is good news for the over. Totals between these two teams have also hit the over in 4 of 5.

Chicago Cubs at Houston Astros: (-109, 7 ½)
Zambrano was forced out of his most recent appearance in the fifth inning due to cramps. The right-hander allowed two hits, one a home run, and walked seven batters. He will play in the hot Texas air tonight at Minute Maid Park, where the temperature is expected to hit the high-90s.
Pick: Astros -109
