FiveStarPick.com feels confident about a win in tonight’s game between the Chicago Cubs and the Florida Marlins.  The ‘run total’ is set at 9 runs, but we expect that number to increase before game-time.  For a preview of tonight’s game read below.

The Chicago Cubs are atop the NL Central and tonight look to win their 10th road game in against the Florida Marlins.  Chicago (75-47) used to be terrible away from Wrigley, but something has changed their luck and now they can’t seem to lose.  What’s weird is that until last night, Chicago has not been able to win in Florida.  As a matter of fact, until last night, they had not won a game in Florida since 2005. 

The one thing the Cubs seem to do very well is score runs.  They have scored the most runs in the NL at 662 and have scored 76 runs in their last nine road games.  That’s a lot of offense.

Sean Marshall (2-2, 3.55 ERA) will get the start Saturday for Chicago and Anibal Sanchez (1-2, 4.08) will get the start for the Fish.

So does the ‘over’ or the ‘under’ cash in today’s game?  It is real easy to get the answer.  At www.fivestarpick.com you can monitor our daily plays on our homepage and see for yourself if our talent for picking MLB winners exceeds your expectations.  MLB picks are not easy, but FiveStarPick.com’s proprietary sports handicapping software program coupled with two of the top sports handicappers in the business have proven a winning combination at nearly 70% against the spread.  You owe it to yourself to become a member of our family.  Join today and start winning tonight.

FiveStarPick.com is hot on another ‘run total’ in today’s matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves. The game was postponed last night due to inclement weather, but they plan to make it up as a double-header today. Vegas has the ‘run total’ set at 8 runs. For a preview of today’s matchup, read below.

The Chicago Cubs are at the top of the NL Central and tonight they will be looking to increase their lead as they take on the Atlanta Braves in a 3-game series at Turner Field.

The Cubs (71-47) have the best home record in the National League at 45-17 and they have won five straight on the road. It’s their longest winning streak since last July. In their last meeting, The Cubs swept the Braves in 3-games at Wrigley and outscored Atlanta 20-9 in that series.

The Braves (55-63) are all but out of playoff contention, but will be returning home after winning 4 of 7 on the road. In addition, the Braves almost swept the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks in a 4-game series, but Brandon Webb had something to say about that last Sunday.

The Braves rookie Charlie Morton (3-5, 5.70 ERA) will get the start tonight. Morton has never faced the Cubs and it should be interesting to see how he preforms against one of the best offenses in baseball.

Rich Harden will be making his sixth start for the Cubs tonight. Last Tuesday against the Astros, Harden gave up 5 runs in 5 2/3 innings, but failed to get a decision in Chicago’s 11-7 home win. He is 1-1 with a 2.10 ERA since joining the Cubs.

Vegas has listed the Brewers as a -120 home ‘chaulk’ over Chicago with the ‘run total’ listed at 7.5.  After Thursday’s victory over the Marlins as a -210 home favorite, the Cubbies Carlos Zambrano (11-4, 2.96 ERA) looks forward to being the starter against the Brewers’ All-Star starter Ben Sheets.  The 27 year old Zambrano has two (2) no decisions against the Brewers in 2008 and has allowed just 1 run on 10 hits with three walks and eight strikeouts. The Cubs lost both games as home favorites.
 
Milwaukee is excited about starting their ace, Ben Sheets (10-3, 2.87 ERA). Ben had a no-decision in his last outing against St. Louis last Thursday.  The right-hander gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts.  The Brewers eventually held off the Cardinals and won as a -120 home favorite and the ‘under 8′ cashed in for totals bettors.  The ‘over’ has cashed his previous three outings.
