Philadelphia at Chicago

It was a tough one for the Cubs yesterday as they were up 5-0, but could not hold on and ended up on the short side of a 6-5 decision. The good news, however, is that the Cubs' bats were alive against a quality pitcher in Roy Halladay, and should have some confidence facing another one in Cliff Lee. Chris Rusin provides an equal on the hill for the Cubs. He has been terrific over his past four starts where he owns a 1.50 ERA. The Phillies are up against their own 8-21 mark in their last 29 on the road vs. a left-handed starter, and Lee has been unimpressive on the road vs. a losing squad where the Phillies are 4-12 in his last 16. The Phillies are also just 3-13 in their last 16 on the road with a total posted from 7 to 8.5. Take the Cubs.
