| (MySportsbook) - Ted Lilly will try to pitch the recently-struggling Chicago Cubs back into the win column when he takes the ball tonight in the opener of a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. The Cubs have lost four in a row and five of their last six games to watch their lead in the National League Central shrink to 2 1/2 games over the St. Louis Cardinals. They were just swept in three games over the weekend by the cross-city rival Chicago White Sox to open a 10-game road trip. |

The San Francisco Giants hope to reverse that trend when they take on the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game set from McAfee Coliseum.

That includes a three-game sweep of the Giants at AT&T Park earlier this month, with the Athletics outscoring San Francisco by a 14-4 margin during the series. The A |
