Lilly allowed one run and five hits while striking out 10 in eight innings of a 6-1 victory over Florida on Saturday at Wrigley Field. He is 2-1 with a 0.42 ERA at home this season, but 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA on the road.

Lingering neck spasms will likely keep first baseman Derrek Lee out of the lineup for a second straight contest. Lee missed two games in Arizona last week because of the injury. Russ Ortiz makes his fourth start for Houston and first since allowing two runs while walking four in five innings of a 3-2 win over Milwaukee on April 26. Ortiz is 3-4 with a 5.33 ERA in nine career starts versus Chicago. Head over to the Bodog Sportsbook for the best in MLB baseball odds.
