    cubs/cards over 8 (-120)...Winds are blowing out at Wrigley Field

    and Cubs pitcher Travis Wood is 0 - 3 with an ERA of 6.16 in his last four starts against the Cards...the only question or concern is how many runs (if any) can Chicago score against Wainwright...Any fly ball towards right field will be getting 10 - 15 mph wind aid all game long so I'll take my chances on the over!......here is the chart below.

    You got it all figured out bro. The linesmakers had no idea about that wind or his era.

    that's why the number is on the high side at 8...they probably want and need action on the under....in normal conditions, this number would have probably been set at 6.5!...

    Understatement of the year. The guy is an absolute bulldog and the best pitcher in baseball. Probably the game's greatest competitor, too.

    2.53 ERA in the postseason with 76 K's in 67 innings. Not bad.

    I like Felix a lot, and Fernandez has a ton of potential, but my vote goes to Wainwright and it's not really that close in my book.

    If wainwright keeps up his scoreless streak, can the cards put up 8 alone? Hard to bet against a pitcher that has been on a tear lately

    This wind issue is bothering me. Feel like the Cards could get a couple lucky homers today.

    the wind hasn't been a factor but rest assured the batters are going up there hacking and being more aggressive than they normally would be under normal circumstances...In other words, the hitters have a lot more confidence...Hence, you see the Cubs hitters ripping Wainwright's !...

    nice early hit Manny.

    Cubs picked an odd time to show team patience at the plate today against against an ace like Wainright

    But thats what cashed this one today .

    and the winds blowing out!......even great and HOF pitchers like Curt Schilling, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, etc. had some pretty rough games at Wrigley..it is what it is...does it always happen?..of'course not...but sometimes you just have to play the percentages!...
