San Francisco at Chicago

Wow. The Cubs are rolling. They swept Houston, putting up 22 runs in the three game series. They have won 15 of 19 and own a 25-12 record since early June and they've won five of their last six series. Barry Bonds is, um, not hot. He's off an 0-for-5 performance and hasn't gotten a hit in 20 at bats - worst ever streak in his career. Is the pressure of the pending record break weighing on him? It appears to be. The Giants have lost four straight games. San Francisco has been bottom-feeders this year. While 22-23 vs. losing teams, they are just 16-28 vs. winning teams. Worse for them, they are facing a lefty today. Versus southpaws, they are getting just 4.1 runs per game. Chicago averages 5.0 per game vs. righties and right now they are hitting everythinhg. Very low line here considering the state of these two ball clubs.
