"Hammering" and "Cubs" usually don't go well together, unless you're talking about their yuppie loser fanbase getting drunk at Wrigley.

Good luck lb, think I'm gonna wait cause people will pound the reds, you think the line will get more value?

Not really. I think it will close around

Reds -172/Cubs +165

I don't think it's the right time to fade the Reds LB. They just smash teams below .500 and they are winning NL Central.

What I like about this play is that Gorzo has a good record against them, but that's pretty much it.

Checkerboard · 08-27-10, 12:41 AM

lb, thx for wed p.m. post re thurs fish, winner!

go cubs go!

HoulihansTX · 08-27-10, 12:42 AM

Its a nice revenge spot for the scrubbies.

Razzzzzor · 08-27-10, 12:44 AM

The only two decent sized favs I like on the board tomorrow are Texas and San Fran (Lincecum pitches a gem tomorrow at home). I like the Cubbies play, and I totally agree about the whole new manager mojo.

The reds lost because they played a good team. Now that they get to play the cubs they will get back to winning. They beat up on bad teams and lose to the good ones. We saw that recently with san Fran.

Cueto lost start because he missed a stretch due to the suspension. That won't happen again. He will dominate a weak cubs team that has given up their best bat in lee. Good luck looking for value. Maybe you should change your avatar to Patton. He is an actual winner.

korbal29 · 08-27-10, 01:10 AM

the way things are going right now cubs should win right now no problem

kings12 · 08-27-10, 01:33 AM

Exactly look what just happened to the Phillies.

Keelo · 08-27-10, 01:56 AM

I do like the cubs here LB. But how much is hammering?? 3-5-10 units??

bodyman · 08-27-10, 04:58 AM

Like your thinkin LB

This is the kind of game I'd limit my Cubs pick to the FF. I think Gorzy + Cubs can take the FF but the Reds are capable of mashing the Reds pen!

thebestthereis · 08-27-10, 07:22 AM

always love undervalued teams at monster prices. nobody is looking at the cubs since they puked all over themselves this year and lou was crying in press conference which was very sad; i was very surprised nancy grace wasn't on that scene. reds feel nice and cozy right now with a lead in the division and cards shitting out of their mouth currently. cubs are playing loose and just swept the 1st place nationals so they are all pumped up. good luck!

SargeantHooker · 08-27-10, 08:00 AM

The Nationals are in last place 19.5 out of first.

just a little

that really is irrelevant whether the nationals are in first place or last place. my point is that the cubs have some momentum and the lou lou circus has left town. they'll be some good spots to bet the cubs the rest of the year.

I agree, Cubs got rid of the cancers on the team, Lee(caused mass tension in the locker room because of his beef with Big Z) and Theriot(mad over lost playing time). They are playing solid ball, I just don't like this spot, now saying that I wouldn't bet the Reds -170 with your money. I'll lean OVER, GL.

Snowball · 08-27-10, 09:24 AM

already decided to include Reds in parlays.

good luck lakerboy

Rookie-Capper · 08-27-10, 09:39 AM

I like the value but dont play over your head

Power Play · 08-27-10, 09:42 AM

Picked up the Cubs last night. They might be catching Oriolitiz. I actually put a half unit on them every game after they played lights out 1st game after Lou.

GTeater · 08-27-10, 09:43 AM

LB, I 100% agree with taking the Cubs for at least a unit here.

Reds have been struggling, Johnny has been struggling even worse.

Not saying the Cubs are hot shit, but at this value its Cubs or no play IMO.

mcbaseball10 · 08-27-10, 10:01 AM

No word yet on whether Phillips will be playing tonight due to a bruised hand. I will not be on either side of this game, but may be looking at an under bet.

kingdom · 08-27-10, 10:02 AM

i had the value money with arizona of all teams. enright pitching and lincecum has been saying he is gonna get right for a month now. zona is known to give the occasional fight. i like em at +168

lakerboy · 08-27-10, 10:05 AM

Line is steady so far with huge action on cincy. Just as i thought. Today could be a good dog day. Also looking at the marlins. Braves are -200

Agree that the price is way too high for erratic Lincecum but not sure I trust the Dback's all or nothing bats on the road either.

ROFLcopter · 08-27-10, 10:13 AM

LB i think you said you liked the Red Sox. How about the Tigers as dogs? Their RL is sitting at -190

I kinda like the tigers as Verly is a DOG. The problem is that when the Jays are favored at home over a good pitcher they usually win.

Looking at the Pinny line it seems like every time DET creeps up to +116 or +117 they get hammered down pretty quick

lakerboy · 08-27-10, 10:29 AM

Yeah we just might have to take Detroit.

slimpickins · 08-27-10, 11:25 AM

Cubs have killed me everytime I think they are playing back to their potential and side with them.
I have come to realize that their potential is to suck and they will continue to due so and continue to get the overvalued with lines due to them being a national public fav.
GL tonight don't mean to be a jerk just don't think this is a hammerable play on either side.
