Scouting Burnett: Making his 13th start after four consecutive no-decisions. He has lost his past three decisions and hasn't won in seven starts. His last win was April 29. ... In his last outing, a 12-5 win over Texas on Friday, he became the Marlins' all-time strikeout leader (635), passing current Cubs closer Ryan Dempster. ... Lefties are hitting .200 against Burnett. ... His 80 strikeouts are seventh in the National League. ... He is 1-0 in two starts vs. the Cubs with a 3.21 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 14 innings. Both starts came at Wrigley.

Scouting Maddux: The 39-year-old veteran is 3-0 with a 3.37 ERA in his past three starts. ... He has walked two batters in his past five starts. His 1.44 walks per nine innings is eighth-best in the majors. ... He is 18-9 in 34 career starts vs. the Marlins with a 2.60 ERA. Against teams in which he has made at least 34 starts, he has a lower ERA against only two (Pittsburgh, 2.51; Washington, 2.55).

Marlins short hops: When CF Juan Pierre and C Paul Lo Duca stole bases Monday, it marked the first time since May 16 the Marlins had two steals in a game. It was Lo Duca's first steal since April 22. ... Entering Tuesday, 2B Luis Castillo had 15 career homers in 1,025 at-bats hitting righty and two homers in 3,029 at-bats hitting lefty. ... LHP Dontrelle Willis has a five-game hitting streak and has 10 hits this season, six short of Livan Hernandez's team record (1998). ... 3B Mike Lowell is hitting .386 (17 for 44) with four homers vs. Maddux. Castillo and SS Alex Gonzalez are a combined 16 for 83 (.193) with 19 strikeouts vs. Maddux.

Cubs short hops: Before Tuesday, Chicago had recorded 10 or more hits in 12 of its past 17 games and was 11-1 when doing so. ... The Cubs were second in the National League with 77 homers. ... Cubs starters have a 2.58 ERA in victories and 5.90 ERA in losses. ... 2B Todd Walker and SS Neifi Perez are a combined 10 for 27 (.370) vs. Burnett.

Burnett ( last 3 games)
Last 3 games pitched well but bullpen llost it.
ER: 7
Went at least 6.0 IN
Career vs Cubs: 2 game starts, 1-0, 3.21 ERA
Away: 6 GS, 2-2, ERA 3.12
My view: Run support not there when he starts, except for last start vs Texas, Maybe continue???? who knows????

Maddux (last 3 games)
pitched well and had big leads when leavind.
ER: 7
Also went at least 6.0 IN
Career vs Fish: 34 GS, 18-9, 2.60 ERA
Home: 6 GS, 2-2, 3.51 ERA
My View: Hot bats for Cubbies facing a decent pitcher that they are not to familiar with. HMMMM?? Tough Calll???

I'll take the Cubbies as a home dog of +105 and kick "THE MAN'S" %#%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck

The numbers are all pointing to the Cubs taking this game - the only one that isn't is the fact that they are home dogs today. After starting the year off 3-0 Burnett has had multiple no decisions and also historically when the cubbies put up the numbers like they did yesterday they fall short the next game. I like the Fin's in this game fellas. BOL!

Here why I like the Cubs. Wendlested is behind the plate. The home team is 10-4 but the home dog is 4-0. In Fla games the ht is 7-3 but there's a fly in the ointment. Fla is 7-3. 5 of those wins were at home and 4 were are favs. In Cubs games the ht is 6-4 and the dog is 5-5. Here's what probably influenced me most. Burnett and Maddux are both 1-2 but there's a big difference in their numbers. The opposing team in Maddux games ave 3+ runs per game while Burnett's teams ave 7+ per game. It appears that Wendlested gives Maddux the outside of the plate which is all he needs. I also have reason to believe this game goes under which would mean Maddux is getting the outside. If I'm wrong we'll know about it by the end of the second inning.

Lost on the under 9(-25) as well.This is what happens more often than not when playing a game because its the only one on.Can't force it.Maddox whipped the Bosox in the high profile game last week,which I'm sure subconsciously influenced us.I'm too old to be this stupid.
