The Cubs have dominated the NL West with a 16-3 record this season heading into Thursday’s action. Zambrano is sitting with an 8-1 record on the season with a 2.51 ERA. The big right-hander dominated the LA bats giving up just 1 run and 6 hits in 8 innings in his start against them over a week ago. LA bats accounted for only 1 run in their last 2 games against the Rockies at home losing 2 of 3 to fall 3 games under .500 on the season. The Rockies came to Dodger Stadium posting the worst record in baseball. Lowe has been good at home this season sporting an ERA of 2.97. He went 7 shutout innings in his start against the Cubs last week. We have two pitchers in good form and an LA offense that has struggled. Play this one under 8 runs.
