Chicago Cubs at Boston 4:05 ET
Cubs over Red Sox- Both these clubs were the odds-on favorites to win their respective leagues and are off to identical slow starts at 10-12. This inter-league contest has national interest, not only the history of these two clubs who in a part are the fabric of baseball (playing in the two oldest stadiums Wrigley Field and Fenway Park). Speaking of old the Cubs will start veteran right-hander John Lackey (1-3, 4.88 ERA) while the Red Sox will send struggling Steven Wright (1-2, 8.66). Inter-league play has made this match-up possible and Boston has taken advantage the Senior Circuit winning nine straight at home and 18 of 20 in Fenway. This won't matter today as Lackey has posted 18 career wins against Boston. Take the CUBS!
