Houston at Chicago

When you get Greg Maddux at home as an underdog, you need to look at that game. I did and I like the underdog Cubbies here. Now, I know he's facing Roger Clemens who has been great this year. At least ERA-wise he has. Problem is, he's just 1-3. He is going just 5.5 innings per start. So, this isn't the typical Roger Clemens. Houston has had to go the their bullpen early with him and that bullp;en is 5-9 on the season on the road. Chicago has struggled all season offensively (4.1 runs per game) but they've found their bats of late hitting .316 and scoring 6.3 runs per game over their last seven games. The Astros are a horrible 12-14 this season when favored by -150 or higher. They are 6-12 on the road as a favorite overall and the mighty Clemens is 6-13 on the road the past two seasons. Like Maddux and the hot Cubs bats here.
