Texas at Chicago

The Cubs have played a lot better than their record indicates. They have eight losses, but three of those have come by 1 run. This one appears to be a pitcher-dominated game with both Derek Holland, and Travis Wood off to very good starts. The Cubs enter this game hitless in their last 23 at bats with runners in scoring position, and those numbers tend to even out, so they should be heading to the plus side of things. The Cubs get Darwin Barney back in the lineup - a Gold Glove winner last year, and should help. Holland has really struggled in interleague play where the Rangers are just 2-7 in his last nine starts. The Cubs have dominated at home vs. left-handed pitching where they are 8-2 in their last 10. Take the Cubbies.
