Cubs set to travel to Canada

With Alfonso Soriano sidelined with a broken hand, the Chicago Cubs will travel North of the border to take on the AL Eastern Toronto Bluejays. The Bluejays come into the series with a .500 record of 34 wins and 34 losses. They currently trail the Boston RedSox by 7.5 games in the AL East. The Cubs come in with the best record in Baseball at 43-24, for a .642 win percentage.

The pitching matchups for this series as are followed:

Friday: Sean Gallagher 3-2, 4.42 v. AJ Burnett 5-6, 4.98

Saturday: Jason Marquis 4-3, 4.54 v. Roy Halladay 8-5, 3.07

Sunday: Ted Lilly 6-5, 5.13 v. Jesse Litsch 7-2, 3.42

This may be a tough weekend series for the Cubs. Burnett and Halladay have shutout potential, while Litsch has had a great start to the 08 season.

Good luck to the Cubs this weekend!

Get well soon Alfonso!
