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.

Roy Oswalt will be in place for the Houston Astrons, as they are able to reshuffle their starting rotation after the rainout last afternoon. Despite that, their pitcher Roy Osawlt is their not that good as some people thinks. His record of 1-2 this season is actually making himing him better than he actually is. Also, his pitching in opposition ballparks have not always been very successful and whether or not the pitchers wree changed from yesterday, the cubs will still win.
