Chicago Cubs at Houston Astros
Jon Lester gets the ball for the Cubs tonight in Houston and Chicago will look to continue a run that’s seen them win eight of his last nine starts. The Cubs are coming off two straight losses, but three straight has been rare as they haven’t lost three in a row since early July.
