Reds?

Does it not scare anyone else that they are obviously the better team and the dog tomorrow to the cubs? I mean, granted they are bringing in a pitcher from the minors, but the cubs are still way worse, even if the reds had a 5 year old on the mound. I could see this if they were playing the phillies or the mets, but the cubs? It just seems like a trap to make everyone load up on them. If anyone could shed some light on this line I would appreciate it, because I really wanted to take them, but now I'm worried.

You can't make Cubs the dogs with their ace on the mound at home.

That would be more obvious to unload on the Reds, don't you think?

[jonahdmad]

Yeah, that's a great point. I've gotten a little paranoid overthinking these lines, but the Cubs have been horrible lately, and it just seems like everyone would be thinking, "Hey, Reds at +120, I'm jumping all over that shit!", then, BAM- cubs come out firing

opening line didnt bother me but a little scary that it is rising, not a big fan of playing a pitcher in his 1st start as who really knows what to expect, gotta be reds or pass, probably a pass for me.....gl

seems like travis wood is no slouch. second round pick, 2009 minor league pitcher of the year, and has been pitching well in the minors this year as well. the only thing that worries me is that the cubbies power comes from the right side and most players for that matter is predominantly righties. im still rolling cincy though.

Has anyone watched the Cubs play the last three days? They don't deserve to be a favorite in any game regardless of the opponent. That is one awful team.

Cubs should be the small fav in this situation, even after getting shut down by the Pirates again yesterday. That said, I wouldn't lay odds on a team playing this badly. Small bet on the Reds for me. GL.
