Analysis: Marquis has had his usual mediocre season, posting a 4.43 ERA, but he does have a winning record.

His next start is scheduled for Sunday at Milwaukee

Jason Marquis did it all on Monday. He went 6.2 innings allowing four runs to pick up his 11th win of the season, and at the plate he knocked in five runs thanks to his second home run of the year, a grand slam.Marquis was the first Cubs pitcher to knock in five runs in a game since Milt Pappas on August 11th, 1972. The guy can swing the stick, and he is a fair pitcher as well though he isn't going to bowl anyone over with his production on the hill. In each of the past five seasons, Marquis has won at least 11 games.

Analysis: Marquis will likely be pushed back all the way until Sunday to finish the series with Houston. That is, of course, just speculation as there has been no definite decision made of yet. Marquis is 4-1 over his last six starts and has been an excellent pitcher of late for the Cubs. He can have the occasional high strikeout night and he'll give you consistency for a contending team. He's certainly a viable starting Fantasy pitcher in deeper mixed leagues. Those that started him this week won't be hurt by this happening unless the Cubs decide to skip his start

Marquis tossed his third straight quality start, although his command was shoddy. He had walked three or fewer batters in 14 straight starts, so something was off-kilter. He faces the Astros at Minute Maid Park on Sept. 12, so he's a decent candidate to pick up a win with the Cubs offense supporting him.

Jason Marquis had his third straight quality start on Saturday against the Reds and earned his 10th win in the process. He walked five and allowed five hits but managed to give up just two runs over 7.1 innings.
