Chicago Cubs(Carlos Zambrano)

@
St.Louis Cardinals(Adam Wainwright)

Scouting Reports:
Cubs:
Zambrano snapped his career-high five-game losing streak in his last start Saturday in Pittsburgh, and is being given an extra day of rest so he can face the Cardinals. He's 2-0 this season against St. Louis. Against the Pirates, Big Z gave up one run on two hits over six-plus innings and struck out eight. The only concern was the five walks issued. He has walked 10 in his last two games.
Cardinals:
Wainwright has been bumped back from the finale in Cincinnati to the opener against the Cubs, setting up a delicious ace-vs.-ace matchup at Busch Stadium. He will be pitching on six days' rest, so there's some question about sharpness, but Wainwright has been as good as anyone in the second half. He's allowed two earned runs or fewer in six straight starts and 10 out of his past 12.
