Game tonight: CUBS -115
This was at -104 when it opened. 61.5% on covers.com is on Giants and line still went up for the Cubs.
I believe this is a great spot for the Chicago Cubs at home playing very good baseball in being spoilers in the month of September. Cubs are 13-5 in the month of September. Cubs are 12 games under .500 in 2010 but only 1 game under .500 against left handed pitchers. Cubs are 6-1 their last 7 games.
San Francisco Giants in my opinion feel the pressure of the playoffs and are not playing their best baseball. They are having a lot of trouble scoring runs and don’t see up to the challenge of taking charge and consonantly winning baseball games. This game is a real good spot for the Cubs.
Going to the mound for the Cubs is Ryan Dempster. Dempster has pitched terrific his last 2 starts going 7 innings in each start giving up no runs in 2 wins at Marlins and at Brewers. He has a 1.45 ERA in his last 3 starts. I like him tonight. Dempster has won his last 3 against the Giants and I believe it will continue tonight.
Madison Bumgarner is going for the Giants and he has been pitching excellent. The issue is the Giants give him no run support in his starts. He has a 1.35 ERA his last 3 starts and is 1-2.
I also really like the UNDER in this game. The wind will be blowing like crazy tonight and over 20 miles per hour, but I don’t not see this game going over 12.5.

Indians/Royals OVER
Over is 9-3 last 12 meetings. 2 bad pitchers. I see this as a game to definitely look at.
Brewers tonight. Gallardo has been pitching great with a 1.29 his last 3starts.Sanchez has a 6.48 ERA his last 3.
Good luck to all tonight! Sorry for the different fonts, do not know how to change it back.
