Houston at Chicago

Chicago hasn't swept a 3-game series at Wrigley in two years, but today should be the day. They get Jordan Lyles and his 0-5 record. Opposing him is Matt Garza who owns a 2.71 ERA at Wrigley. Lyles hasn't been awful, but he's not been good enough to overcome his team's lack of run support. The Astros are averaging just 3.8 runs per game (3.7 on the road where they own a 16-31 mark). In day games, Houston is 10-23 thanks to 3.6 runs per game. Chicago has their offensive problems, but that shouldn't matter. Houston just can't take care of business vs. poor competition. The Stros are 14-32 this season on the road vs. NL teams with an OBP of .315 or worse. That includes a 4-18 mark since the mid-way point of the season. Finally, Houston is just 19-52 this season vs. RHP like Garza. Take the Cubbies to notch their first sweep.
