Take:
#912 Chicago -1 1/2 +150(RL)
3-Units (3:05 P.M. CST)
(Maddux vs Contreras)
Cubs are 3-9 last 12 games.
Cubs current roster has .231 BA against Contreras.
Cubs are hitting .232 against righties last 5 games.
Cubs Bullpen has 7.49 ERA last 10 games.
Cubs are 0-4 on road vs American League.
White Sox are 13-3 last 16 games.
White Sox current roster has .265 BA against Maddux.
White Sox are hitting .341 against righties last 5 games.
White Sox Bullpen has 2.10 ERA last 10 games.

Cubs Pick to Click:
Jerry Hairston Jr.
3 for 8 with .375 BA against Contreras. (0HR)
Cubs Likely for a Letdown:
Derick Lee
0 for 3 with .000 BA against Contreras. (0HR)
White Sox Pick to Click:
Timo Perez
8 for 19 with .421 BA against Maddux. (2HR)
White Sox Likely for a Letdown:
Frank Thomas
0 for 3 with .000 BA against Maddux. (0HR)
The White Sox have had good starting/releif pitching all year. Their problem early on was on offense. The White Sox have had the right personel to score runs, but just haven't gotten it done, they have relied on the long ball all year. It seems that all the correct ingredients have come together. They have scored just over 7 runs a game their last 5 times out.
The Cubs have scored just over 4 runs a game their last 5 times out. They have a couple of problems to contend with. They have had key injuries to their starting pitching staff (Prior,Wood) to go along with a bullpen that is awful. The Cubs coaching staff knows that Maddux must go at least 6-7 innings for the Cubs to have a chance. This could get them in trouble. Look for Maddux to be in several jams early on at which point the Cubs pitching staff will have to take a chance that Maddux will get outs in key situations, or rely on a bullpen that hasn't gotten the job done so far this year.

Pirates Bullpen has 7.50 ERA last 5 games.
Pirates are 2-6 last 8 as underdogs.

Pirates Pick to Click:
Rob Mackowiak
6 for 11 with .545 BA against Carpenter. (1HR)
Pirates Likely for a Letdown:
Daryle Ward
0 for 8 with .000 BA against Carpenter. (0HR)
Cardinals Pick to Click:
David Eckstein
11 for 20 with .550 BA against Redman. (2HR)
Cardinals Likely for a Letdown:
Einar Diaz
0 for 10 with .000 BA against Redman. (0HR)
Both of these teams are scoring runs. Both Carpenter and Redman have been very consistent all year, although Redman did have a bad start his last time out against the Nationals. We will be taking our chances with a St. Louis team that has a great bullpen that will be able to finish the game in the later innings.
