Cubs(Clement)@Chisox(Wright)
--both teams travelling after yesterday's games - Cubs less travel; Cubs large BP edge and Chisox starter Wright not piling up the innings (avg. 5.25 IP / start); Chisox bats as healthy as they've been all year (Cubs still without Choi and catcher Miller d-d), but Cubs bats still have a slight edge there (they're hitting better on road this year, too); concern because Sox just saw Clement (Chisox 7-6 @Wrigley Sat.) while Cubs missed Wright, but Clement has very good stuff, was starting to get it together before last, with 3 straight W's (19 IP, 20 H, 5 BB, 22 K, 2.84 era) and, including last, hasn't allowed a homer over past 5 (27+ IP); Clement threw a couple nice games (both Cubs wins) last year vs Chisox
hoppy at +100
1.5/1.5
hoppy=something an old poker buddy used to say, whenever somebody challenged at Guts, Chase, whatever else it may be called (bettor and challenger trade cards and loser pays double type oversimplification)
