Maddux has started the season well notching a win and 1.42 ERA in 6 and a third innings vs. St. Louis on Friday. He will outshine Brandon Claussen this afternoon at Wrigley as the Cubs go for their fourth win in six home games this season. Cincy has started well but that's due to six straight home games to start the season. Over the past two seasons, Cincinnati is just 8-28 on the road during the first half of the season. Also, road teams allowing 5.8 or more runs/game on the season facing a pitcher who gave up 1 or less earned runs last outing are just 21-53 (28%) since 1997. Cubs and Maddux here.
