    Cubs -1.5, play of day?

    Just finished doing my first once-over on the card tonight and I can't help but think that the Cubs are a great play tonight. I'm not one for putting my play of the day on a team starting off a road trip, but there's a lot to like.

    Any dissenting opinions?

    *Left-handed Maholm on mound for Pirates against a right handed heavy power hitting Cubs lineup. He gave up 7 runs his only time facing the Cubs last year (in CHI)

    *McCutchen out for Pirates

    *Dempster pitched well in both road starts for CHI this year

    *Cubs swept ARI at home and had a day off to travel

    I would like to take RL also. I need to rollover LooseLines 10$ bonus =) And I think Cubs -1,5 @ EV is the best way for first rollover.

    I'm also liking the A's at home (and their 8,000 crowd) with Mazzaro fresh in from Sacramento, a guy who pitched very well early last year. They are facing Feldman who had an ERA over 7 in 4 starts against OAK last year and need a win to get back to .500. I think I'll take the +1.5 RL at -160 to be safe here.

    CUBS 8-1 SU on the ROAD vs PIT last year, seem to have their number. CUBS have won last 3, Pirates dropped last 3, run line looks like a sound play.

    Cubs hitters are clicking on all cyclinders right now, and Dempster has fared well in his career against pitt, seems like the play.

    i like over 8 here,
    DEMPSTER is 6-4 when starting against PITTSBURGH with an ERA of 5.36 and a WHIP of 1.582.
    His team's record is 9-8 (-0.5 units) in these starts. The UNDER is 3-12. (-10.1 units)

    MAHOLM is 4-1 when starting against CHICAGO CUBS with an ERA of 7.06 and a WHIP of 1.549.
    His team's record is 7-2 (+8.8 units) in these starts. The OVER is 7-2. (+5.1 units)

    Damn you baker! Cubs need to take advantage of their RISP chances. 2-1. Let's open it up!

    Hope it works out. I usually don't like to bet run line chalk in baseball.
