GAME 1
After finally breaking out at the plate, The cubs look to keep it going and string together some victories. With a four game losing streak behind them, the cubs try for a second consecutive victory against the Astros. Chicago hasn't enjoed high scoring games in 2010, recording 6 or more runs 14 out of 55 games. Randy Wells will take the hill for Chicago. The Right-Hander has not allowed an earned run in 20 2/3 innings. n his last start, he allowed no runs off 3 hits in a 1-2 loss against the Pirates, in fact, Well's last 3 starts have been pretty shaky, posting an 0-1 record with a 5.40 ERA. Well's has a 2-1 road record with a 3.15 ERA, butthe Cubs have lost 3 of his 6 starts on the road this season. Wells has a 2-0 Caree record in three apperances agaisnt the Astros.
Brett Myers hasn't got a decision in either of his last 2 starts, However, he was pretty impressive in his last start allowing 1 run off 4 hits in 7 innings. Houston has won 6 of Myer's last 9 starts allowing 2 runs or less in 6 of those 9 games. Myers has been Dominant at Minute Maid Park this season posting a 2-0 record with an ERA under 2.00. The Astros have won 5 of Myer's alst 6 games at Minute Maid this season. Myer has owned the Cubs in his career posting a 7-2 reord with a 2.66 ERA. I look for the Astros to get it done behind Myers today and start Chicago back on their losing streak.
