Good call with the Cubs. They're the one team I'd never bet against (just cause I grew up seeing them; can't bet against your boys. Only for.), For this game I actually leaned towards Pirates looking at recent and long term stats; Pirates had a definite edge.
Take whatever you did for this game in particular today, and fine tune it there.
"Stats"-wise I'm with you on LAD; I think they have a slight edge; and then there is a gut feeling about the Padres so I'm with you on that game. This should be interesting.
As for the Mets the future looks bleak...one of these days might be a good time to try chasing the +RL.
