Ninth straight road game for Baltimore, and they look out of gas losing the last two by a combined 11-3 count, both times as chalk. The Orioles are 2-5 against the National League Central and go with Miguel Gonzalez, who is back in the Orioles rotation, not having pitched since August 7. Opponents are hitting .270 off him, and the Orioles are 2-5 in Gonzalez's last seven starts as a road favorite. The Cubs are 4-0 against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, plus 5-1 against a right-handed starter. Chicago has a fine starter in Tsuyoshi Wada (3-1, 2.75 ERA), with the team winning his last two starts allowing two runs in 11+ innings. The Cubs are 7-2 in their last nine interleague games as an underdog. Grab the home dog. Play the Chicago Cubs.
