Chicago Series

I mistakenly left the Cubs-White Sox game off the games of the day. It's actually one of the better matchups of the day with Ryan Dempster facing Jose Contreras. Ryan's home/road spilt continues to be mind boggling. He's 9-0 at Wrigley in ten starts, 0-2 on the road in six starts despite a lower ERA. Part of that may be the defenses fault, as he's allowed six unearned runs on the road but only one at home. Ten of those sixteen also came as a result of home runs. His split of home runs makes me wonder if the wind has been blowing in at Wrigley this season.

Contreras has limited the power against him to bases empty situations this season. With no one on, opponents have 20 extra-base hits and a .388 slugging percentage. With men on base, they have five extra-base hits and a .318 slugging percentage, despite a higher batting average.
