The Cubs, really? 36-55 this year vs righties plus the umpire definitely favors the visiting team. What's your angle on this game?

the ump favors visiting teams, huh? that's your angle as to why the cubs are bad?

labones00 · 08-13-14, 04:41 PM

Yes definitely an important variable plus their record against right handed pitchers, they are 20 games under .500

What kind of variance do you seen in umps season to season home/home and away/away win%?

labones00 · 08-13-14, 05:12 PM

I look at each season individually, look up the ump behind the plate in the Cubs game tonight. You will see what I'm talking about...

labones00 · 08-13-14, 05:19 PM

Home team wins just over 20% of the time this year coupled with their horrendous record vs righties. Look this is how I'm capping this game (plus a few other variables). Not looking for you to agree necessarily but would be nice to hear your angle ....

So about that Cubs play...why do you like them?

Because the Cubs are better than the Brewers?

labones00 · 08-13-14, 05:49 PM

How insightful, now I'm really questioning my play here. Right a record of 51-67 is better than 66-54...

Sorry, was making sure all my plays were in.

The Cubs have been a lot better since bringing up their prospects, they are 5-4 last nine games with all five wins coming as underdogs...and four of them were vs. righties. I get that Lohse is Brewers ace, but the kid Wada has allowed two runs or less in four of his five starts and should be tough facing Milwaukee the first time ever.

Current records have nothing to do with it.

Think outside the box.

You need to actually watch Wada pitch instead of just reading what you see from a stat sheet. I'm on the Cubs tonight because the price is right, but the dude is not that good.

If you read my posts in this thread you will see that is exactly what I'm doing. Good luck with the Cubies tonight

Brewers are 15-21 L-36.

labones00 · 08-13-14, 05:58 PM

Still better than the Cubs plus they have lost last 3 out of 5 at home. Maybe these "prospects" aren't used to playing everyday

Blackballer · 08-13-14, 06:03 PM

Lohse won his two matchups vs the Cubs this season with a 1.69 ERA. Wada has a tough task by pitching vs the Brewers lineup, won't be easy but no Lucroy as catcher, he plays 1st base.

Huh?

labones00 · 08-13-14, 06:19 PM

It was a joke lol

you wrote..."The Cubs have been a lot better since bringing up their prospects" most minor leaguers don't play 162 games a year

good luck to you

Cubs are pesky

that top of the line-up 1-4 is about as good as any in the national league at the moment.
