If You're Betting The Cubs Tonight

Lineup for tonight's game, posted on MLB.com

Chi Cubs

1. Byrd, CF .244
2. Baker, Je, 2B .313
3. Lee, D, 1B .282
4. Nady, RF .250
5. Ramirez, A, 3B .170
6. Soriano, A, LF .263
7. Soto, C .308
8. Theriot, SS .235
9. Wells, R, P .000

I laid off backing the Cubs the last series because I just didn't know what to expect. I have bet on Wells twice this year, and I am going to make it 3 tonight. I still think he might be a little under the radar, and maybe this lineup change will spark the Cubs bats. -125 at Matchbook isn't terrible to lay in this spot, both teams had to travel, but Cubs had a day game. Betting on a little jetlag from that 20 inning game to be there when it gets late in the game. Both pitchers lost last time they faced the opposing club but Niese only made it through 3 innings last time he faced the Cubs and gave up 6 earned runs.

Ike Davis, yeah one of the Mets top prospects, making his major league debut.

Byrd has been playing pretty well lately, but I like him with runners on, confused as to why he is leading off and Theriot is in the 8 hole.

Also I would start Colvin not Soriano.
