09/05/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cubs poor play as of late is now starting to cost them ground in the National League Central. Chicago will try to get back on the winning track tonight when it plays the third contest of its four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field.
Chicago has lost the first two games of this series and six of its last 10 overall. To make matters worse, Milwaukee and St. Louis both won yesterday. The NL Central-leading Cubs now own just a half-game edge over the Brewers and have a one-game edge over the Cardinals.
Ted Lilly will attempt to put the brakes on a four-start winless drought tonight for the Cubs. Lilly is 0-2 over that span with a 6.55 earned run average, though he has been better over his last two outings. He gave up just two runs against Arizona on August 25, a loss, before yielding three runs and five hits in five innings of a no-decision versus Milwaukee on Thursday.
Lilly's skid has him at 13-7 on the year with a 3.89 ERA. He is 1-0 in three games (two starts) in his career against the Dodgers with a 6.57 ERA.
Eric Stults will make his fourth start of the year for the Dodgers tonight. He took a loss in his last start on August 25, allowing three runs and five hits over 4 2/3 innings over a 4-3 setback to the Mets, falling to 1-2 with a 4.23 ERA in seven games (three starts) this year.
The left-hander will be facing the Dodgers for the first time in his career and is taking the spot of David Wells in the rotation, as the recently acquired left-hander is serving a seven-game suspension.
Stults will try to carry over the momentum created on Tuesday by Brad Penny, who pitched seven strong innings in the Dodgers' 6-2 victory over the Cubs. Penny (15-4) yielded seven hits and just one earned run for the Dodgers, who have won three in a row and seven of nine.
Los Angeles is three games back of the NL West-leading Padres and three games behind Arizona, which leads the NL wild card.
Juan Pierre knocked in a pair of runs and Matt Kemp went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the win.
The Dodgers also activated first baseman Nomar Garciaparra from the 15-day disabled list before yesterday's game. Garciaparra was out for almost three weeks with a strained left calf muscle and did not play in Tuesday's game.
Daryle Ward went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the loss for Chicago.
Steve Trachsel (0-1), making his first start since the Cubs acquired him from Baltimore on August 31, suffered the loss despite six solid innings. The right-hander, who began his career with the Cubs in 1993, gave up seven hits and three runs with three strikeouts and a walk.
The Dodgers won two of three over the Cubs when the two squads met in Los Angeles in late May. Chicago is 9-8 versus the Dodgers since the start of the 2005 season.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
