    Cubs are the Best Play Monday

    I like the Cubs to take down the Braves at Wrigley Monday. Dempster seems to have figured things out and is pitching much better. Atlanta is hot right now but Jurrjens isn't the same pitcher he was in the first half and I think the Cubbies will put up some runs on him.

    true, but over his last three appearances against Atlanta (2010 & 2009) he has an era of 2.18 and a whip of 1.11

    If Jurrjens is trash what are the Cubs?

    SBR needs to raise the age limit to post to at least 12 to stop ignorant shit like this. Every thread I look at has some 10 year old posting stupid shit just like this.

    This would be a no play for me. Braves have better hitting and bullpen, but Jurrjens has given up 21 earned runs in his last 5 starts. That's 21 runs in 29 innings. 3 of those starts were against teams that are bad offensively. I would almost never back the Cubs because they are so unpredictable. Good luck, but I can't find any reason to pick a side in this game.

    braves pretty good revenging home losses, still though Cubs probably right side as Jurrjens second start of the DL and he didn't look good in his first one back at home vs the Giants. He is regressing right now

    Jurrjens had one good start in his last 5 where he gave up 1 earned run in 7 innings to Pit. He was knocked around pretty good by the Reds once, the Giants once, and the Nationals twice. Until he shows me he is back I am not putting my money on him. Yes LB, just recently the Cubs won 2 of 3 from the Braves in Atlanta. The Braves won the first game 10-4 and lost the next two 8-4 and 6-5. This was less than 2 weeks ago.

    Don't see how out of all the games on the board this is the play. Even if Jurjens hasn't been the same the Braves are the Braves and the Cubs are the cubs....pretty self explanatory and enough for me not to play the Cubs

    I didnt know i had to have an essay as to why i think jurrjens sucks. Im a huge braves fan but look at his last five starts and his era in those games. His fb topped out at 86 last game and the braves bullpen has been used alot recently. The bravos have been playin hard but the cubs are the ones who are showin up to play today.

    I don't see the value on the cubs +104, if you're going to take a shot like that why not take Houston at +195. I like Boston at +132 vs. Texas, not often you get them on a dog line. P.S. run lines are for suckers.

    Braves win easily. All healthy and team firing on all cylinders. Bourn, Prado, Jones, McCann, Freeman, Uggla etc it's a run producing machine and the bullpen is the best in the majors.

    I would definitely pass on this game. This team is a complete mess. Everyone is playing the year out. Now they sit their best player. All this coming off the GM being fired and the Zambrano fiasco.

    And they are facing the hottest NL team right now who is finally healthy and is more focused than ever.
