    My first 10* Game of the Year - White Sox vs Cubs

    I have been tracking my plays here at SBR and doing fairly well. My 5* plays are hitting 70% and I am in the + unit wise (sometimes all you can ask for early in the season). Long season ahead of us still but I feel like baseball is beatable with as many games there are, you really have to pick your spots. If you are an action junkie, baseball will eat you up IMO.

    Here is my season thread:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/baseball-b...100-units.html


    I decided to make a seperate thread aside from my regular thread with all my plays because I may only have a handful of 10* plays the entire year, and since I am not well known here yet, I figured more people would have the chance to see this play. I don't want attention, but I do want to help people out and when I have a play like this, I try and help out whoever. This is what these forums are about, right?

    Samardzija has been pretty much unhittable at home - posting a NL-best 0.81 home ERA. I like how the former ND football star has been dealin.

    Humber threw his perfect game and then hit a wall, going 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in the three starts immediately following his no hitter in Seattle on April 21. His last start was atleast respectable - gave up one run and four hits over 6 2/3 innings while striking out seven Sunday...But that was KC. Since the perfect game White Sox have not won a game that he started pitching, going 0-4.

    The cubs have been swinging a hot bat and I love them to take the first game of the series in this interleague Chi-town matchup.


    10* Cubs -133


    Good Luck!!!

    Every bullpen in the MLB makes me nervous. I see Samardzija going 7+

    agree with you Downtown, I even see the entire game being better than the FF bcause cubs could go down 1 run early from maybe a bad inning from samardjiza but in 6-7 inning with humber vs samardjiza its safer IMHO

    10 units and the Cubs should never go together

    Seriously, good luck with the play. I've seen your previous work, so I trust this pick. I'll probably tail and throw a small amount on the Cubs, but it's hard to pass on an AL team at plus-money during Interleague play.

    "game of the year" is just a title because I like this game a lot. The play is double my big plays that I post.

    Call it what you want.

    the whitesox had great sucess playing the cubs.. this is a type of game that you really cant look at stats or how each team is currently doing right now...humber did pitch a shutout last year at wringly field....but anything can happen.. but i do think -133 is a little high priced do the fact these two teams play very close games...got to go with the whitesox...it just seems crazy things happen when these two teams play... and the underdog seems to pull it out too..
