This will be a match between two worst defending teams in the National League. Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros stand in the bottom of the table of NL Central Division and each is allowing more than 5 runs per game on average. Starting pitchers also allow us to expect some runs to be scored today. Carlos Zambrano is a solid pitcher, he should improve comparing to his last match but Astros should score 3-4 runs. Meanwhile Cubs’ hitters should have good chances to combine big number of runs against Bud Norris and weak Houston’s defense. Besides, teams have met 6 times this season and the matches ended with the following number of runs scored: 9, 13, 14, 19, 10, 4. This should be another high scoring match.
