Wrigley Field
Game One: Tuesday, July 8, 7:05 CT
Aaron Harang, RHP (3-10, 4.47) vs Ryan Dempster, RHP (9-3, 3.24)
Ryan Dempster is still winless on the road, but luckily he's 9-0 at Wrigley. Aaron Harang only has one win in his last nine starts and his start was pushed back to today due to right forearm stiffness.
Game Two: Wednesday, July 9 7:05 CT
Johnny Cueto, RHP (7-8, 4.63) vs Carlos Zambrano, RHP (9-3, 2.96)
Cueto is having a solid rookie season thus far and has only given up six runs in his last four starts. Zambrano was dominant in his first start coming off the DL and is 2-0 against the Reds this year.
Game Three: Thursday, July 10 1:20 CT
Bronson Arroyo, RHP (6-7, 5.82) vs Ted Lilly, LHP (9-5, 4.47)
Arroyo hasn't pitched well this year but he's coming off of two solid starts. Lilly has pitched well lately, but is giving up too many runs in innings after the Cubs have scored for him.
Prediction: SWEEEEPPP!!!
