    IMHO, the total says it all for the Cubs/Cards game

    6.5? People are going to pound the piss out of that over, especially given the ESPN Sunday Night history.

    Don't do it, folks. Do not touch this line, unless you're going to go under.

    Sincerely,
    A Totals Expert

    I wouldn't -- especially because I think Carp pitches a gem -- but I'm a totals mush.

    I'm just saying that's my personal analysis. Under or no play.

    Overs have been hitting a lot.

    Overs and home teams.

    This total is really ridiculous. yes its carpenter and dempster is pretty good at home. First 2 totals went under with 12 and 11 with wind blowing out. Now the wind blowing in which makes the total low but... 6.5? I thought 7 or 7.5 would be a fair number. However, it really looks so easy to take the over. Yet, 6.5 is a really tough for an under because once 2 teams get 3 runs its over.

    I just don't understand why this total can be this low. Last week with Roy Halladay and the Phillies vs the Cubs, total was 7.5 and looked like it begged for under action and went over. Now its 6.5? Taking any side is risky. Over looks like a sucker bet yet taking the under is more risky because one bad inning by one of the 2 pitchers will make this total go over 6.5 too easily.

    With Carp on the mound and only a 6.5 total, Vegas is expecting a STL win then right NO? I believe so......STL wins 4-1.

    So far this season, 15 games on Sunday night ESPN (or 16, first game on Sunday Apr 4, covers showed Spring training day. But look like Boston and NY is an official game).
    So 15 game with out come being 7 OVER, 8 UNDER (or 8-8 if you count the fist game on 4/4).
    50% isn't "hit a lot"

    However, the juice is around -125 for the over and +115 or so for the under. The over is juiced so much and some books have the over at -130 and -135 so this is a real tough pick. I mean if it was over for -115, i think under would be the play.

    That -125 on the over tells you what to do.

    Don't be a pussy.

    Over 6.5 runs.

    Cards win 12-0

    I check last night, all of the trends pointing toward UNDER is a play. People who took OVER in the last two games will probably stop chasing when see Carpenter on the mount.
    I went for OVER 6 -150, BIG.
    Will do live play, hoping the first innings no score and I can get 5 or below, I will pounding again.

    Dumpster has given up six runs and seven runs his last two outings.

    One thing the Cards DO for Carpenter is give RUN SUPPORT.

    ALL THE TIME.

    DUMPSTER gave up 7 runs to Houston and 6 runs to Philly when Philly could not hit a whore in a whore house.

    OVER 6.5.

    Go all in.

    Make some motherfrackin cash tonight.

    I Said it first.

    DUMPSTER GET'S ROCKED.

    You will have that over by the third inning.

    Two things to look at:

    1) Dumpy's night #'s.
    2) Cardinals' road #'s.

    They're "due" -- especially Pujols -- but I wouldn't be banking on a big breakout.

    You gotta be crazy to be on the over this game. The last two starts Carp has looked unbelievably be good, almost untouchable. On the Cubs u3 +105 here.

    It's not about Carpenter.

    It's about Dumpster.

    OVER 6.5 runs.

    If the spot is right.
    Two things that I didn't like it too much (but I love this play despite these two negatives), line set a little too low, and people are pounding OVER all day long, but line never move up to 7. BUT sometime you gotta roll the dice.
    You did put a big chunk of your BR on a total play few days back if I remember correctly.

    I don't have humble confident like smacky, but I feel this game will end somewhere 5-4 CUB win.

    The line opened at 7. Sharps pounded it down to 6.5.
