The Chcago Cubs grabbed yet another walk off win last night when they dramatically defeated the Indians in the tenth inning after a game winning single. The Cubs have been very flat in recet weeks and they have had to rely on such victories to spur them forward. Although Soriano leads their team in rbis, his total of 29 puts the cubs in the lowest numbers of rbis in leaders among the majors. Today though, they will have their ace Lily on the hill when they continue their three game series against the American League team.  Lily is 7-4 this year with a 2.94 era which puts him in the top few in the National League.

Lily has given up only four earned runs over his last twenty seven innings pitched as he hopes to improve his 3-0 record at home. Players tend to be more confident when they know they have a reliable pitcher on the mound and this could probably ease the nerves of the sluggish Cubs hitters at the moment.  Tom Ohka will represent the Indians in this game with a respectable era of 4+ He looked to be pitching very well over his last three starts but was charged with a very harsh loss in his defeat to the Cardinals where he gave up only two runs. I will go for the Cubs here since I have a feeling that they will explode in this game after weeks of frustration.

Pick: Cubs -1.5 @2.15
