Zambrano allowed three runs, six hits and struck out five in seven innings of Monday's 12-3 win over the Padres.
Advice: Zambrano is 6-1 with a 2.03 ERA in nine starts this season, and 5-0 with a 1.49 ERA in his last six outings. He also improved to 5-1 with a 1.44 ERA in seven starts versus San Diego since 2003.

Zambrano was scratched from Sunday's start due to a rain delay.
Recommendation: The Cubs didn't want to take any chances with their ace, so Sean Gallagher got the nod instead. Expect Zambrano to go Monday against the Padres.
