[Gio21]

just laying off this game

[douglastdietzold]

under. its gotta hit.

[landers781]

But it doesnt seem that easy. Everyone knows there was 17 runs scored yesterday, now they are gonna try to get the same people that cashed on the over yesterday plus get the people who bet the under yesterday and "learned their lesson"

[therber2]

Holy Cow. Cubs win...Cubs win... RIP

Taking the over here for 14. This will be my BEST bets of the DAY!!!

[bigsmitty]

Is everyone forgetting that the books are begging you to take the Under? When it seems to easy......

You either play the Over or it's a no play.

I agree but books screw up too. I want to go with the Over based on yesterday but 14.5 is craziness to me-looking for easier meat. Cheers

[Wilforth]

Pass

[SexyMit]

Can Cubs score any runs? Arizona got all the runs yesterday. Again either take the Over or leave it alone.

[Chi_archie]

very very windy today..... lost my hat a few times


remember Wells is a great hitter.... former catcher in the minor leagues.... so you got a little extra oopmh in the lineup

[hels]

I do realize that the books make mistakes at times. Subsequently, there's no reason why this game couldn't go Under, of course it could. All I'm trying to say is that when you see a line that seems out of whack it's usually because the books are on to something that the general public doesn't know.

I'm sure that people who have been around here a long time see this time and time again when the average poster is saying, "this line is too high, there's no way there will be that many runs, you gotta take the under."

The Under seems like the smart play here (hence it's the square play). The Over is therefore the sharp play.

Now, for the record, I'm not a big baseball fan or capper..... I'm just trying to point out the fact that when something doesn't seem right, it usually is.

Highest MLB total Ive ever seen in my life

[pavyracer]

Pound this play boys! Get the wheelbarrow to the bank load it with cash and find your local. You can't be betting against the wind!

[landers781]

Archie,

Which way is the wind blowing. What would you play if you were playing the o/u?

[Chi_archie]

not a large play..a position play, to expect 15 runs every game is insane. Windy or not, Cubs have serious issues with hitting the ball.

that is an extremely SQUARE categorization, esp coming from an Illinois native...


cubs are raking..... EXCEPT for ARAM and DLEE....


everyone else is well over .300, except for alphonso, but even he is hitting .270ish under Rudy's tutelage....


so the question you gotta ask yourself do you want to take the under on a day like this, when you know that 6 of the guys in the cubs lineup are hot...and the other 2...well they can still hit a long fly ball in slump right? Only need about a 275 foot lazy flyball to clear the fence on a day like today...

I see Aram and Dlee combining for 2 hr's today...


and soriano has owned Lopez in his career.....368 avg with 3hr's in 38 ab's


dig deeper people

[bigsmitty]

Totally agree-obviously the books make their cash being right far more than wrong. Neither am i that experienced with baseball-can't wait for NFL but just looking at the numbers for this game it will be a play to make records (good or bad). Cheers

Have to agree.

[cyclonebell]

I don't think the smart play is the over here, wind or not. The smart play in this case is no play.

[Chi_archie]

pound and hammer...back the truck up.... take the wheelbarrow to the bank... on the over

[AnotherLoan]

This is a historic day for us gamblers. The highest total in the history of baseball. You must make a play on it.

[landers781]

Thats it! I bet the over for more than I have on the under for small profits...either I win small or lose small but better than being on the wrong side totally good luck

[Snowball]

Cubs have lost 3 in a row. I like them at 2pm
Chicago (10-13) will counter with Randy Wells (2-0, 2.49), who has given up
two runs or fewer in three of his four starts. The right-hander earned a win
in his last outing, allowing two runs and striking out six in seven innings
as Chicago beat Milwaukee 12-2 on Sunday.

Is it really?

[bettilimbroke999]

Holy shit, I have never even heard of a total this high, I mean 14 runs is an under

What is there like a tornado blowin straight out?

I mean shit u got a 2.49 ERA and a 4.88 ERA so they're averagin about 7 runs a game AND bein the national league the pitchers are going to be givin up a free out every 9 outs I mean how did they come up with this fukin line?

[Chi_archie]

you know vegas wanted to make this total 24.5

just like I said yesterday they wanted to make it 21.5



ITS ****ING WINDY HERE.....

[hels]

Highest Run Line ever seen in baseball, and people are on the Under????? ----> sarcasm meter goes off the charts

Guys, lots of runs are meant to be scored today, that's the plan.

[Capybara]

If the books are begging us to take the under, then fine, I am a sucker, because I am ALL OVER THAT SH-T.

I am officially on a Cubs/Under parlay! And I am anticipating easy cash!!!

[Chi_archie]

Holy shit, I have never in my life even heard of a total this high in my life, I mean come the fuk on 14 runs is an under

NO, you are wrong there.... Randy Wells can handle the wood

[yankeerick]

im on the under if they go over i will

[blix177]

Man 14.5 is pretty crazy.

[desunoto]

lol. I took under FUKUDOME told me he didnt eat his wheaties this morning.

IMO, FUKUDOME 1 jersey is the best you can buy.

[AnotherLoan]

I predict 19 runs will be scored today.

[KingKolzig]

Only play is to parlay the Cubs with the under (+218). that way if the Cubs win they dont use the bottom on the 9th and they put out Marmol in the top of the 9th. So a very good chance of a scoreless inning.

Cubs 8-5

[hels]

57% on the Under.... yet the Over has gone from +108 to -104 at Pinnacle.

RLM on the radar

9th inning meant nothing yesterday. 0 runs scored in the 9th inning just like you said but 18 scored before then.

[hels]

Well, to everyone on the Under thinking 15+ runs is a longshot..... I won't be making any comments after the game but situations like this aren't your everyday occurrence. The Over will hit 75% of the time in situations like this.

[wakeboardr886]

I'm with the cubs and the over
