Milwaukee and Chicago are both in the thick of the NL Central race along with the Cardinals and surprisingly the Reds and Pirates. That makes every intra-divisional game take on even more importance.

Side values have been very good for both teams. Milwaukee road games have produced +452 units with a 17-11 record when it is the underdog. Results have been even better for Chicago home games at +778 units with a 22-12, 64.7% record. With Jeff Suppan and Carlos Zambrano scheduled to pitch Friday it is likely that the Cubs will be favorites again at Wrigley Field.
