If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty on Friday when the Houston Astros and the Chicago Cubs meet at Wrigley Field.
Chris Sampson will be the starting pitcher for the Astros on this day, and it'll be Rich Hill toeing the rubber for the Cubs.
NewBodog oddsmakers currently have the Cubs listed as 165-moneyline favorites versus the Astros, while the game's total has not yet been posted.
The Astros fell 3-2 to the Padres last time out, as +130 underdogs on the road. The five runs fell UNDER the posted over/under (8.5).
Mark Loretta was 2-for-4 at the plate with one RBI for the Astros. Oscar Villareal allowed gave up the winning run in relief to suffer the loss.
The Cubs doubled up on the Brewers 6-3 to avoid a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field on Thursday, as -140 favorites. The nine runs went as a PUSH against the posted over/under (9).
Aramis Ramirez homered for the Cubs, and Alfonso Soriano drove in two runs in the win. Ryan Dempster tossed six innings for the win, giving up three hits and two runs.
