    Chicago Cubs/White Sox O/U!?!

    Can someone explain to me why the over/under is 11? Both these pitchers are coming into this game with a sub 3 ERA. Wood pitches extremely well at home and Peavy has outstanding numbers at Wrigley. I feel like the 11 is really generous and it should be the under here all day. Just baffled by this number....

    Totals at Wrigley....#1 rule is to look at the wind. The ball carries far when the wind is blowing out

    The cubs bullpen can bring the best out of even the worst teams.

    Go Sox!

    I understand that wind plays a factor, but only 4 games at Wrigley this year have gone over the 11 run mark. Not sure why the number would be 11 with this match-up on the mound today. Out of 19 starts this season between Wood and Peavy only one game has passed the 11 run mark and that was the White Sox at Wash. Ah well, I guess I'll just take the under and be confused all day.

    I remember there was a game last season with the fukkin padres (when they were batting like .180) and cubs and also had some ridiculous total and that shit. Hit like 20+ runs

    I thought about doing the Over . Routine fly balls can go out. The wind is blowing pretty good out . I like the Rangers better though so went with them. If players strike out a lot not getting contact for fly balls that can go out with wind then it could go under.

    You also get the biggest moves on MLB totals when the weather patterns shift.

    It's like CBB totals.

    This one opened at 12 and closed at 11, a full run lower.

    Over went from 11 EV to 11 -115 at my book last 15 minutes. 82% on under it seems. We will see.

    On pace for 9, with 6 lob.

    early

    i read that a 20 mph wind blowing out at Wrigley adds 50-70 feet to routine fly balls.

    Castro flies out to end 2nd with 2 on.

    There is the reason why the total looked suspicious. If its suspicious , best option is to leave it alone, or definitely take the side that does not make sense. Its like its already decided before the game. One or both pitchers will be loose and give up many runs. Cant do much about it. Even if you pull him after a grand slam the total is decided.

    Or a few times, Detroit or Atlanta bats go to sleep and score no runs in games where they are heavily favored. Bottom line is Vegas is out to get our money. Best to look at them and kind of figure which side is likely to attract the majority of betters and go opposite or just run.

    Just like that the Over is in play again. I went with Rangers instead though but almost went with the Over . You just never know with that wind blowing like it is.

    This is going to be an interesting game for me.

    I had no run scored in first at +125 and Sox -123 first five. They've scored in every inning BUT the first so I am escaping with a nice - and lucky - push.

    Down 6 and he makes the second out at 2nd base.

    Sox on the under here? This is ridiculous how many they have left.
