Play: Chicago Cubs
Rating: 10*
The Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers will open a three-game series Friday night. The Cubs are red hot in winning 22 of their past 27 contests, and this looks like an excellent price on the best team in baseball.
Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.41 ERA) takes the ball for Chicago. The 27 year old southpaw held the Rockies to one run on one hit and a walk with five Ks through 4 1/3 innings at tricky Coors Field his last time out. The Dodgers are .222 against left-handers this season, the worst mark in baseball.
Bud Norris (6-10, 4.69) takes the ball for the Dodgers. He's 3-3 with a 5.67 ERA since coming to the Dodgers on June 30 in a trade from Atlanta and he's struggled with consistency jumping in and out of the rotation.
The Cubs are well rested after getting Thursday off. They're 13-3 in their last 16 games following an off day. The Dodgers meanwhile were held to just one hit in a 4-0 loss to the Giants last night.
