Astros @ Cubs Discussion

**mart59a** · 04-16-10, 01:46 AM

Cubs should win here. Silva was solid his last outing and the Cubs offense is hot at home.

**Illusivecone** · 04-16-10, 01:58 AM

On a day where the wind is suppose to be blowing out, to have a ground ball pitcher like Silva favors the Cubs considerably

Plus Houston's offense still stinks...

**Weaz** · 04-16-10, 05:13 AM

Love the cubs in this spot. Silva is in a battle for the 5th spot for when lilly returns so he needs to pitch well and with the cubs offense being as high scoring as it has been you would have to think they'll get a w at home.

**Carson05** · 04-16-10, 06:20 AM

love the Over at 9.

also potentially Cubs team total

**dukeblue888** · 04-16-10, 06:20 AM

cubs have the hitting to compete
cubs and over

**Jon825** · 04-16-10, 07:11 AM

cubs will pull the W, not that im bias or anything

**desunoto** · 04-16-10, 07:25 AM

Have a funny feeling Silva will blow it today. With the BP not looking too hot, Astros have a good chance.

agreed im on cubs

**thespeculator** · 04-16-10, 08:18 AM

even against the astros can't risk it on silva, although cubs offense is impressive

**cadillac pete** · 04-16-10, 08:21 AM

The Cubs are just a scarey team to being laying that number considering how bad their bullpen is.

**tomcast** · 04-16-10, 08:22 AM

Astros have the monkey off their back and will win again

**Grecdogg** · 04-16-10, 08:28 AM

Monkey be off their back but they still blow

**Fadeaway Kush** · 04-16-10, 10:52 AM

stros and the under = $

**cappinthepigs** · 04-16-10, 10:55 AM

Hope the North Siders can pull it out.

**rake922** · 04-16-10, 10:57 AM

The wind is blowing side to side I think... right?

**Brock Landers** · 04-16-10, 11:04 AM

blowing across the field, not going to help balls go out. unless there are a lot of doubles and stuff, this thing should stay under

**Zubi** · 04-16-10, 11:08 AM

Lets give it a go!

**GoldRush7** · 04-16-10, 11:10 AM

all chicago teams today

**xyzky** · 04-16-10, 11:10 AM

Cubs should win, but, always scary laying wood with them...even against Hou!

**pokerpro44** · 04-16-10, 11:11 AM

cubs rl for me.

**NrmlCurvSurfr** · 04-16-10, 11:13 AM

Also on cubs RL.

**Chi_archie** · 04-16-10, 11:21 AM

Silva sucks.... no reason to lay that kind money on a guy like this.... look how many HR's and hits he gave up in 2004-2008 when he pitched alot of innings... Cubs will need him to eat some innings today, as their bullpen is ragged....

He is also experiencing stiffness in his shoulder...

and Paulino? c'mon people.... as long as the wind is blowing STRAIGHT in, it doesn't matter.... line drives, hard hit balls up the middle, balls in the gap are still hits and runs..... don't over think the wrigley wind

**rake922** · 04-16-10, 11:29 AM

Archie sounds like he's on over 9

**Chi_archie** · 04-16-10, 11:35 AM

take the over or nothing..... sides are unpredictable here.... two of the worst bullpens in the game

**rake922** · 04-16-10, 11:39 AM

over 8.5 -125

**xyzky** · 04-16-10, 02:57 PM

I'd start sweating right now if I bet the Cubbies in this one!

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 04-16-10, 02:59 PM

i have houston ... good so far but well see

**xyzky** · 04-16-10, 03:51 PM

Congrats to Cubs backers!

**jackny** · 04-16-10, 03:56 PM

Nice win to start the day.
