Chicago at Houston

The Cubs were lethal at home last season where they won an NL best 55 games. They were very ordinary on the road. The Astros are hoping to get what they saw from Brian Moehler in his last spring start, where he shutout the Indians over five innings. Ted Lilly is a solid starter for the Cubs, but he has been a notoriously slow starter and over the past four seasons his April mark shows his teams with a losing record and his ERA stands at 4.84 for the month of April. Good spot for the Astros on the plus side of the moneyline at home.
