Looking to put a halt to the Cubs two-game losing streak will be Carlos Zambrano who comes into tonight’s start 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He’s allowed 44 hits and 11 earned runs with a K/BB ratio of 35/11 in 47 total innings of work. He threw another gem his last time out limiting the Milwaukee Brewers to seven hits and one earned run in six plus innings of work, but Kerry Wood blew the Cubs two-run lead in the top of the 9th and they lost by a 4-3 final count. He picked up a win against the Reds this season on April 16 at Wrigley, giving up two runs on eight hits over seven innings. Lifetime against Cincinnati, “Big Z” is 11-9 with a 3.48 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

Opposing him will be the Reds Aaron Harang who hasn’t been nearly as bad as his W/L mark indicates. He’s only allowed 41 hits and 16 earned runs in over 48 innings of work, and he owns an impressive K/BB ratio of 41/11. His offense has been silent his L/2 starts combining to score a total of three runs, but he’s held up his end of the bargain allowing 15 hits and five earned runs with a K/BB ratio of 12/4 in 13 total innings of work. He got roughed up badly in his lone start against Chicago earlier this season when he gave up five earned runs and eight hits over six innings in the Reds 9-5 defeat. In his career against the Cubs, Harang is 8-4 with a 4.62 ERA and 1.27 WHIP.

The Reds are just 9-14 against right-handers this season, and 6-12 against divisional opponents, while the Cubs are 13-9 against the NL Central and 6-1 in Zambrano’s L/7 road starts at Cincinnati. Neither of these clubs fares well with Home Plate Umpire Chuck Meriwether behind the dish. The Reds are 2-6 the L/8 times he’s called balls and strikes in their games, and the Cubs have dropped four of five with him behind home plate. Something’s got to give here, and the fact that Chicago’s 9-4 the L/13 times Zambrano’s thrown after a loss makes them attractive at this short price.
