    Pirates even bigger dogs today!

    Pirates sweep the earlier series and win yesterday, which makes them 4-0 this year against the Cubs. Maholm is 5-1 lifetime against the Cubs while Dumpster is 6-8 against the Pirates. Yet the odds open up at -215/+195! What am I missing here?

    cubs just signed ernie banks and ryan sandberg which should help them sure up the middle, but line is still a bit high

    Shortstop,

    Bring back Clemente!!!!!

    IMO you have to be insane to lay -250 on the Cubs.

    no such thing as a due.. more likely to be due after a win tough..

    eyeing up on pirates RL when books decides Cubs line is high enough for RL to be released!

    Going with Pirates ML, payed me well yesterday. Also might try the alternate RL when its released since their bats were real hot in yesterdays game. Value is def. on Pirates.

    the line is false due to the morrison chasers, the value is with the pirates. Will lay cubs and back cubs when 2 way profit is available.

    Zambrano did his best coyote ugly(dancing on the tables) impersonation at the Y bar thursday night. He was hammered and that could explain why he sucked yesterday.

    You are missing nothing.!! The line is high and may have value but Pitt. is a bad team, and yes the CUBS ARE not great,but not that bad. Maholm is 5-1 vs. Pitt. but has a fat 6.63 ERA vs them.!! Dempster is 2-3 with a respectable 3.44 ERA. Dont get me wrong I am not saying to be the CUBS, in fact Pitt has beaten CUBS IN 6 straight meetings dateing back to last year.

    Wondering why total is 8 as well. Cubs have great numbers vs. Maholm and Pirates have decent numbers vs. Dempster. Plus the Cubs bullpen has been terrible.

    Wind blowing straight into home plate at 12 km/h probably has something to do with it...

    Normally the Cubs are a sucker play, but I believe it might be the other way around today.
