SBG Global Opening Line: Cubs – 120 , Total 8 Under -120
This series has been a homecoming for Jim Edmonds. He started the season with the Padres but was released and picked up by the Cubs. He already has a home run and five RBIs with Chicago. "He's got experience, he's played in winning situations, he's a veteran player, and lately, he's started to swing the bat a little bit," Cubs’ manager Lou Piniella said. "That's what we need from Jim — we know he can get the ball in the outfield."
