Chicago at Houston

The Chicago Cubs just got swept at home by their cross-city rivals the Chicago White Sox. The question is, if this team can't muster energy from a series that should have the adrenalin pumping, especially at home, what is left for this team heading on the road where they are ust 6-11 on the season? They have lost eight of their last ten, including six in a row. The pitching staff is in shambles, allowing 6.2  runs a game over that ten game stretch. Houston is markedly better than the 106 loss version from a year ago, and has been good at home at 13-10 this season. The Cubs are just 23-47 in their last 70 as a road dog and 6-21 in their last 27 facing an opponent that scored two or less in their last game. Norris is a momentum pitcher winning five straight after a quality start in his last appearance. Play on Houston.
