The Chicago Cubs experience a deep drop in form over their few games in the last week of April but have since bounced back in style. Injuries have plagued them this season and they really did have to make several adjustments to keep the ballclub running. The not so big hitters have been chipping in to help propel the Cubs forward and even the starting Wells have deputised well for the injured Zambrano. He has yet to surrender a run in 10 and a third innings to maintain his good start to the career.

The Cubs are usually very good at Wrigley field and they seldom lose cheap runs to opposition teams. Moreover, they have just won four games consecutively and will be gunning for a fifth straight today against an Astro side, who do not travel too well away. The Astros starting pitcher for this game also has an area of over 8 and an overall record of 0-2. Although he managed a quality start in his last match, he might find it difficult to contain a hot hitting Cubs team at the moment.
