Thursday the Chicago Cubs will have a chance to win a season high three straight home games. Thus far their starting pitching has had an upper hand against the New York Mets. Today’s starter in Kyle Hendricks may be choppy as he has not pitched since last July. Yet look for the Cubs bats to make up for it against veteran Carlos Carrasaco. Take the Cubs.

Tonight's forecast is the type that doesn't bode well for hitters at Wrigley. Low temperatures and stiff winds blowing in from left will kill a lot of fly balls and make it difficult for hitters to hit for power.
