2 J's

[JIBBBY]

J's are playing better of late, making a solid effort and run to make it to post season play, but they are Wriggly and facing a dialed in Arrieta -

Copy and paste -

Arrieta (12-8, 3.73 ERA) recorded his sixth straight quality start Sunday at Arizona, allowing one run and three hits over six innings in a 7-2 victory. He is 5-2 with a 2.10 ERA in eight starts since July 2.
"I knew it was just a matter of time," Arrieta told WSCR-AM this week. "I wasn't pitching the way I would've liked or the way I'd expect to perform. Some of that had to do with not executing, some of it had to do with a little bit of bad luck. Some just had to do with not being on top of my game."



I don't like this game.. If I were to bet it I'd take the Under... Happ has allowed just 2 runs in last 2 games at home.. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8061/

This game is a Pass for me.. Better games to play later on today..

[travis91]

Jays bats have been non existent minus donaldson

i think Cubs win this one easy to be honest

[Sam Odom]

Total 9 (juiced Ov)

[JIBBBY]

^^Sorry Sammy I gotta take a stab at the Under after all.. Early game start, bats can be cold for the early innings of play, players still waking up and feeling off from the normal start time schedules.. Both pitchers seem on it lately as well..

Under 9.5 at -130 looks like a decent grab to me.. I'll gamble on the early game..

$130.00

$100.00

Pending

8/18/17 2:20pm MLB Baseball 925 Toronto Blue Jays/Chicago Cubs Under 9½ -130* (J Happ - L must Start J Arrieta - R must Start)

[Sam Odom]

Sammy aint pulled no trigger yet

[CappinTerp]

This total is hard to read into: Happ last 3 starts 1.45 ERA...Arrieta last 3 1.86 ERA.....But career vs the other team both have high ERA's, and out dated...Happ last threw vs CUBS 2 years ago and Arrieta last threw vs TOR. 3 years ago.....So it's hard to bet this total.......pass. As for the game,don't see any good angles...pass........................... ......................................GL

With pitching it's all about what have you done for me lately.. Out dated stats and trends are just about worthless IMO..

That is VERY calm for Chicago...

Winds were only 5mph stronger yesterday and we all saw what happened

[Jayvegas420]

With all due respect Jibby, I believe your thinking is flawed.
Although it's a small sample...
The 1st two inning of yesterday's day games saw over 20 runs.
The theory that cold hands lead to cold bats early in the day is poorly applied analysis.

Like I said, small sample but if your tried to apply this thinking yesterday, you'd have been murdered.

Stay away from this under.
Not very strong winds today, either SW or NE.

Cubs will win.

Interleague games are tough to cap.
Head to head matchup are rare.
These teams haven't played each other in 3 years and some of those Stas are 9 years old.

Jays Slugging average is improved but Happ could get chased from this game in the 3rd or 4th inning if he's not on today.

GL JiBbber

I saw that, not always the case with early games though, you can't go off just one day of baseball like yesterday Jayster... We'll see what happens today?.. Besides those early games yesterday didn't have these pitchers pitching today that have been on it lately...

No guarantees with early games ever and I typically don't like betting them.. Just offering an opinion on this game and let's see what sticks?.

[Jayvegas420]

We will see. Either way you got a good line!

[killerbeast6]

I think im gonna skip this one...too risky to bet on

[teaserpleaser]

think happs little run comes to an end today.

If arrieta gets lit up he made a mistake to Donaldson with men on most likely that jays lineup is weak in inter league.

Steve pierce down those 5 bats aren't any good happ of course hitting no morales DH.

[teaserpleaser]

Interesting with wind blowing out

The total came down to 8.5 ??

They just showed the flags in center and they're moving

That is exactly what I am saying!!!

[JIBBBY]

Well both pitchers giving up runs early.. Looking like got this wrong already.. ... Happ giving batting practice right now in the 2nd..

[ppcguru]

Sorry got this up late. But went with Cubs 1st 5 -.5 for -122.

[Sam Odom]

Had to go out... Sorry

Missed posting play
