Wrong team is favored tonight in Chicago

[Machine Choice]

I know Soriano isn't playing tonight, but that might actually help the Cubs since he was only hitting .166 in his last 8 games, and with no home runs.

The Cubs haven't performed well in the third game of a series this year, going 13-23 while the Cards have gone 22-16. The Cubs are 6-20 in their last 26 Sunday games. Now, these stats are the only reason I can see why the Cards are favored, because nothing else makes sense.

The Cubs' Lopez has an ERA of 1.12 in his last four home starts. The Cubs are averaging 5 runs per game in their last 7 home games, compared to the Cards' 3.8. Cubs bullpen is 2.59 in the last 10 games.

I'm backing the Cubs at +128 to get a primetime sweep, and the game will go over 8.5 (which will be added to my totals system thread, which is currently 6-3 with one game pending)

[ebbearsfb1]

Like it hope they get a lead so I can live bet

[BernardMadoff]

Cubs lineup pretty weak, cant really see Cards losing tonight.

[TPA]

Lopez is throwing BP!

[ebbearsfb1]

Was hoping cubs score first so I could live bet cards as a dog... guess not

[mngambler]

[LockPickMaster]

[SOUP]

[BugsBunnyAUS]

Lopez is a ******* mug. Bad mistake I took the cubs.

[chantrain]

[Thurgood]

I knew Lopez wouldn't be pitching a shutout tonight, LOL. That's why I also mentioned the over. If the Cubs stay close, they pull it out in the end.

Westbrook is a threat to come unhinged and give up a 3-run inning at any moment.

[jboy4]

Cubs need to get it going

[SOUP]

Yadier what a beast!

[starfire]

Lopez is a Joke

[ebbearsfb1]

I have no luck with the cubs... bet em they suck fade em they suck... **** all my profit for the day gone between these night games

The Cubs still have 12 outs to make up four runs. I've heard of that happening before. Let the game play out.

Either way, it looks like the over will cash so there's no way this game can hurt too much.

Lopez is really lousy. Add to that St. Louis's superior supporting cast and the right team was favored.

Lopez was really lousy....tonight. Prior to tonight, he had only given up 3 earned runs in 11 innings and had won his last three home starts. I stand by my analysis. Take off the hindsight glasses.

[warriorfan707]

Cubs are getting raped tonight

[yisman]

machine choice, I bet the cards, so there's no hindsight glasses. Lopez has been and still is a lousy pitcher.

[Machine Choice]

Lopez has been and still is a lousy pitcher.

Yet he has a lower ERA, WHIP and winning % than the guy you backed tonight. Regardless, you won a bet and that's all that matters. Good job

[mngambler]

only had 1/2u on cards -1 but a win is a win...4-1 on the day

You just said he has a lower winning %.

I'm aware of the stats, and I'm also aware of something called sample size.

I'll take Westbrook over Lopez any day of the week.

Even if you want to argue they're even, the Cardinals have an easily better lineup.

[warriorfan707]

Betting on the Cubs in any spot at anytime is asking for trouble

[chantrain]

well, that sucked. I knew backing Lopez was a bad idea.

How was the wrong side favored?

Cards are way more talented. The Cubs should never be favored over the Cards this year.

He was implying that he thought the Cubs are going to win the ballgame

Unfortunately for Cubs backers tonight reality has a funny way of appearing at times

[BigDofBA]

Thinking a team is going to win and thinking they should be favored are two different things.

Ordinarily yes, but not for everyone

Cubs looked like shit tonight..
