Last time I went for Chicago Cubs, it was also Lily who started the game but he had to endure a rough outing. Tonight again, Lily will be on the mound after a season worst of two successive losses. Since he returned from injury, he has been very inconsistent but one thing though, is that he pitches very well at Wrigleys ball park. He is 4-1 this year at home and will be looking to out duel his opponent today, Mike Burns. Generally, Cubs have had a very disappointing season up to date unlike in 2008 whereby they cruised through the entire season. Surprisingly though, the team that leads their division is the team that they are facing in this series.

Cubs are 23-14 at home and whenever they are at home, they seem to grind out wins. Walk off wins are just all too common at Wrigleys ball park and I really think that they will avenge their loss last night.  For the Brewers, they will have to depend on Burns, who have only started in three games this season. His game to innings ratio is a factor for the Brewers and hence, I will back the Cubs to even up the series here by winning this one.

Pick: Chicago Cubs -1.5 @2.4
