Both of these pitchers have thrown really well in their last three starts with Gavin Floyd having given up 4 ER in his last 21.7 innings, striking out 20 batters along the way. Carlos Zambrano has given up just 2 ER in his last 21 innings with only 12 hits allowed and 16 K's. Both of these offenses have had a tough time as well with the White Sox scoring 4.1 runs per game all year, against right-handers, and in their last seven games. The Cubs are putting up 4.2 runs per game on the year, but only 2.4 over their last seven. Expect runs to be at a premium today.
