    Is Sabathia A Trap Tonight? Who is Taking Who?

    This line should be Milwaukee -140, they have lost a few in a row...I want to hammer the Brew-Crew but this has to be a trap.

    How bout value with Sabathia. This guy is 9-0 since the trade, guy is unstopable. But the line is fishy as hell.

    dempster is garbage, but so are the brewers
    you are betting CC vs the cubs, in chicago
    brewers have no mgr, and are done for the year
    so you are betting cc to throw a cg basically

    Milwaukee is in a funk right now, but maybe firing of Ned Yost will allow the Brew Crew to turn it around.

    Mil-113 and Sea-105 in a 2team parlay looks like a solid play tonight.

    true, but the royals arent much better imo. Plus I think Morrow will shut them down tonight and Sea will score runs on Duckworth.

    alot of intangibles in the cubs-brew crew game that make it impossible to cap.
    this is milwaukee's last real shot....will they be super focused? are the cubs gonna be too relaxed after their recent streak.... after a two day rest due to IKE are the cubs rejuvenated and firing on all cylinders?

    look at the cubs batters history vs CC... pretty darn good... soriano has 4 homers... he could carry them to a win...

    gotta think the northsiders are gonna be going crazy tonight...

    i was just gonna stay away..but since i'll be on the north side... i put a unit on the cubs +1.5 with dempster at home.

    Brewers suck. You've been saying that for weeks. You can't trust the Brewers. CC isn't throwing a CGSO.
    I pass.

    you can do better than that. Milwaukee at even money and Seattle at -101.

    Milwaukee makes me nervous, though.

    never believed in traps my whole life, but boy, somebody knew something to move that line to even. cc is generally -200 or more, now he is even

    weird

    anyway...so it was the Cubs with a medicore starter at home, vs. the at best medicore brewers (at least for the moment) with C.C. Every pitcher can have a bad day, even Halladay..and CC still has to prove that he can be as good as Roy over a longer period of time.

    The guy who said the brewers should have been -140 must be a bookies wet dream, agreed?

    CC would be +130 or so vs. Halladay, at least thats where i would set the line. CC is good but also a bit too overrated atm.

    even money, cc, there is nothing wrong with taking a shot there. its easy to say now, down 3-0

    and yes, i know the brewers are a bad team, i have said it all year long

    halladay was a dog vs garza, vs shields, and vs lester

    not sure he would be -140 vs cc either

    on the road i guess? like CC today, and no + money for him.
    As i said, too much hype and the bookies knew what they did. The trap was taking CC, and yes i know it is easy to say now but i had that opinion all day.

    So what, its not about todays game..**** that.
    Iam talking that in general it isnt correct to take CC vs superior teams with decents starters on the road just because its even money, that is a bookies wet dream. Home dogs, remember your own words?
