- At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves have captured the top prize in the NL (best record) but they simply can't stop winning despite having nothing else to play for until the NLDS. They did it again on Thursday, beating the Cubs at home behind -- what else -- great pitching and timely hitting. Now the Cubs need to win more than ever as the Marlins came back to beat the Mets last night which means Chicago is currently on the outside looking in on the Wild Card race. They will face another team with nothing to play for in the Brewers tonight in Milwaukee. There's probably nobody they'd rather have on the mound to start this crucial game than veteran RH Kyle Hendricks. Despite an overall 6-8 record, the 33-year-old has logged a very solid 3.66 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 23 starts covering just under 133 innings. In 33 career regular season starts vs. the Brewers covering 188 innings, Hendricks is 10-8 with a 3.40 ERA and 1.14 WHIP and he's 3-3 with a 3.03 ERA on the road this season (vs. 3-5 and 4.16 at home). Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie
