CHICAGO â With the Chicago Cubs just starting a busy stretch during which they will play 23 games in 23 days Joey Votto Jersey , finding a way to remain fresh may seem tougher than normal.How well Chicagoâs starting pitching holds up over the remainder of the regular season may play a major role in determining whether the Cubs can capture their third straight National League Central Division title.With Yu Darvish out for the season and Mike Montgomery sidelined with a shoulder injury, the last thing the Cubs needed was for their starting rotation to take another hit. But the injury bug continued to bite the Cubs on Thursday when Tyler Chatwood, who had been relegated to the bullpen after spending most of the season as a starter, was placed on the disabled list with hip tightness. The Cubs recalled right-hander Dillon Maples from Triple-A Iowa.Article continues below ...The starter shortfall also forced the Cubs to call up Alec Mills, who will make his first major league start on Friday at Wrigley Field against the Cincinnati Reds. Mills (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is 5-12 with a 4.84 ERA in 23 starts this season at Triple-A Iowa.Mills made an appearance for the Cubs earlier this season when he pitched two scoreless innings of relief and struck out two July 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals.While the Cubsâ pitching has stood up well during Chicagoâs recent offensive struggles http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-brandon-fi...gan-jer sey , manager Joe Maddon continued to keep newly acquired Daniel Murphy at the top of his lineup. First baseman Anthony Rizzo, who had thrived in the lead-off spot, has settled back into his normal No. 3 spot and homered for a third straight game and drove in three runs as the Cubs knocked off the Reds 7-1 in Thursday nightâs series opener behind a complete-game effort from Cole Hamels.The addition of Murphy, who went 2-for-5 and scored a run in Thursdayâs win, could be big for the Cubs down the stretch. Murphy is a career .413 hitter in 109 at-bats at Wrigley Field, where he played his first game as a member of the Cubs on Wednesday. With shortstop Addison Russell sidelined with an injury Reggie Sanders Jersey , Murphyâs addition bolsters a lineup that general manager Jed Hoyer believes is built to win.âWeâve tried to augment that group as much as we can during the course of the season,â Hoyer told reporters, according to the Chicago Tribune. âBut this group is very capable of winning. We need to start playing better, more consistent baseball.âThe Reds will head into Fridayâs game expecting to send Matt Harvey to the mound despite reports that the veteran right-hander had been claimed off waivers by an unknown team Wednesday. A team has 48 hours to either trade him or pull him off of waivers from the time he is chosen. The Redsâ official website said that would force team officials to decide what to do with Harvey before Fridayâs matinee.Harvey is 6-5 with a 4.28 ERA in 17 starts with the Reds this season after he was acquired from the New York Mets. Harvey is 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA in six career starts against the Cubs, and is 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA in two starts against Chicago this season. Whether he makes another start against Chicago â at least as a member of the Reds â remains up in the air.âObviously, if a trade is worked out Johnny Bench Jersey , he wonât (pitch),â Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman told reporters Thursday. âBut weâre planning on having him start.â The Colorado Rockies (91-72) will play in a different city for the third time in three days Tuesday when they visit the Chicago Cubs (95-68) as small road underdogs in the National League Wild Card game.Both the Cubs and Rockies are coming off losses in divisional tiebreaker games on Monday, with Chicago falling 3-1 at home to the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado dropping a 5-2 decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers.MLB betting line: The Cubs opened as -128 favorites (wager $128 to win $100); the total is at 7.5 runs, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.

But they still have life and will be playing a reeling Cubs team that probably should not even be in this position right now. Chicago is just 6-6 in its last 12 games while Colorado got into the postseason by winning nine of 11.The Rockies will send southpaw Kyle Freeland (17-7 http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-morgan-jersey , 2.85 ERA) to the hill, and he has not suffered a loss since August 1. Since then, they are 10-1 in Freeland's last 11 starts, with him going a perfect 8-0 during that stretch. He is 12-4 with a 2.49 ERA in 21 starts under the lights.Why the Cubs can pay on the MLB linesThe Cubs have a lot more playoff experience and hope that will benefit them in this situation. Countering Freeland will be a pitcher who has been here before in veteran Jon Lester (18-6, 3.32 ERA), who also finished strong to close out the regular season. Lester has gone 6-1 in his last eight outings with one no-decision that Chicago rallied to win anyway after he left the game.Lester has not allowed more than three runs in any of his starts over that period and pitched well in his lone appearance versus Colorado back on April 30 Dave Concepcion Jersey , giving up two unearned runs and five hits in 5.2 innings of a 3-2 victory. Smart betting pickThe Rockies have fared well against the Cubs over the past two seasons, going 8-5 in 13 meetings, according to the OddsShark MLB Database. In addition, they are 6-2 in their last eight games at Wrigley Field. Take Colorado to pull off the upset on the road.
