Cubs lost first against Dodgers at Wrigley Field, Zambrano expected to be better at second meeting

 

The Dodgers 7-2 victory over the Cubs from last night is giving them a great deal of advantage since there is one more game at Wrigley Field before heading to Dodger stadium for two more, and the Dodgers wants to fly back to Los Angeles with a 2-0 record over the favored Chicago, whom are considered the best team at the National League.

The Cubs are hoping Carlos Zambrano to come up with a good performance on game 2 in order to avoid any talks about a Cubs curse.

Besides their one-hundred year span without going to the World Series, the Cubs have another motivation: to win their first pre-season game since 2003, when they defeated the Marlins twice, but fell to the following 3 games.

This is the first time in MLB history that these two franchises meet at the playoffs, but the Cubs won 5 of their last 7 regular season meetings this year.
