Don't be that excited lol. Its only A FREE PLAY!


liff Lee started the 2009 season slowly after being nearly unbeatable last year on his way to winning the Cy Young Award.
However, the Indians left-hander has gotten better as the season has progressed, posting a 2-0 record and a 1.96 ERA in three June starts, including a three-hit shutout against St. Louis on Sunday, when he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning.
Cubs flame-thrower Rich Harden pitched well Saturday in his first start since returning from the disabled list (mid-back strain), allowing two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts in six innings. However, he hasn’t fared too well at Wrigley Field this season, with a 5.58 ERA in six home starts. Harden (4-3, 4.53 overall) also has been bad in day games, posting a 5.28 ERA in six outings.
Plus, Lee is 12-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 20 interleague starts, which is the best winning percentage of any pitcher with at least 12 decisions, and Chicago is 0-4 in its last four games vs. left-handers.
So with Lee (4-6, 2.88) back on his game, go with the Indians to take the first game of the interleague series.
