Cubs/Brewers thoughts wanted

take the over, eventhough harden pitched weel in his last few games, but well this time he will give up at least 3 runs and I expect the Cubs to score at least 4 against Bush. Take the O7

I also like Chi to win this one, just because Harden wont loose 3 games in a row, they will support him today.

Cubs are going to win again. They are the better team with the better pitcher on the mound.

MonkeyF0cker · 07-31-08, 04:21 AM

I'm waiting for all of the steam on the Cubs. I'll be on the Brewers if I can get them at +150 or better. On paper the Cubs should win, but this game (or this series for that matter) won't go according to script. I think the Brewers claw out a win and you'll get a great price closer to game time as well.

pat venditto · 07-31-08, 04:23 AM

cubs are the best team in the nl. betting against them and harden, who is a ****in beast with a 1 era while with the cubs is just dumb.

MonkeyF0cker · 07-31-08, 04:25 AM

I would agree with the over too, Illusion. I was pretty shocked to see a 7.5 total in this one. These are not two aces on the mound by any means, against two potent offenses. If nothing else, you've always got either bullpen to bail you out, which either one is perfectly capable of doing.

The best team never loses, do they? I'll be getting an incredible price on the Crew thanks to that very mentality. I'll thank you in advance.

harden's been on a pretty stingy pitch count since he's been with chicago. i'll take the brewers team total over 3.5 @ even money seeing as i think the cubs will go to their pen relatively early.

Bush records are pretty ugly against Cubs just 1w - 8L, but at the moment he has 3 strike wins.
about over :

Head to Head :

Over is 9-1-2 in the last 12 meetings in Milwaukee.
Over is 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings.
Cubs are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Milwaukee.
Brewers are 0-5 in Bushs last 5 starts vs. Cubs.
Chi. Cubs: :
Over is 6-2 in CHC last 8 overall.
Over is 6-2 in CHC last 8 on grass.

so I want to say over 7.5 looks more juicy than under

probably Cubs:

ICE-BLOOD · 07-31-08, 08:04 AM

2 good starting pitchers points to under. 1st half under is 3 1/2 which is too low. no play for me. as for the side, i like the cubs but not laying that price. again, no play for me

Raine1 · 07-31-08, 08:35 AM

The Cubs IMO are better everywhere in this game, but a little worried Harden will give up some HR's today. I feel he also has been a little lucky in situations with men in scoring position.

Bush I think has also been lucky, his BABIP around .265 only. So, I hope a few more drop today.

I am not sure but I think Mil. usually favors the under (I haven't checked), plus I do not know who is behind the plate today. Not much time for me on Thurs., lucky not a lot of games.

Overall, I have a small play on chc, with a little more on the over. I am up 25units or so last 5 days, so I might gamble here a bit.

Good luck!

ertl09 · 07-31-08, 08:44 AM

to get the cubs @ -135 I think is a great price, but this is one of those games where you feel so strongly about it could bite you in the ass, I like the cubbies, but I have a bad feeling

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-31-08, 09:31 AM

Cubs -133 at pinnies, fair bit of money going on brewers it seems.

NMARTINI · 07-31-08, 09:40 AM

taking the over

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 09:49 AM

over is far from a sure thing

walkingdude2 · 07-31-08, 11:04 AM

Doubling up on Cubs. Although they have averaged 6-7 runs last three games. The Brewers have averaged just a couple runs last two games. That is a little scary. However I think the Cubs finish it here with a low scoring win.

Harden is pitching great. I wouldn't count on the over in this game unless it's over 7.5 k's. Should be alot of strikeouts in this game. Too bad you can't bet on that.

Clueless_Norway · 07-31-08, 11:24 AM

Don't like this game so I take a shot at no score 1. inning with two good pitchers

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 11:30 AM

would take the cubs . just dont think they will sweep though

maybe place a bet before first pitch
thinking bout it

LT Profits · 07-31-08, 12:42 PM

I can't take the Over because the Cubs may need to score seven runs by themselves.

Crayzee · 07-31-08, 01:05 PM

going cubs team total over 4

aznbluff · 07-31-08, 01:11 PM

Brewers U3

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-31-08, 01:43 PM

Go Cubbies.

aznbluff · 07-31-08, 01:48 PM

Harden struggling, hopefully he can fight through it

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 01:59 PM

is he struggling? im not watchin but i got cubs small

3 hits? 4 k no walks..

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-31-08, 02:02 PM

$1k on Cubs here, -133. Enough that I'd be slightly annoyed if they lost :-)

Bases loaded, cmon get a nice lead in there.

HeeeHAWWWW · 07-31-08, 02:04 PM

Yeah, that'll do it.

aznbluff · 07-31-08, 02:06 PM

I just hope they dont ease up now and let the Brewers get 3 soft runs

endorphin · 07-31-08, 02:09 PM

$100 on Cubbies -1.5
2 homers from Edmonds. W00t!!

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 02:13 PM

wow so many ppl coming in to say they on cubs after the grandslam
lollll

aznbluff · 07-31-08, 02:17 PM

Hopefully Harden can go 7+, I just realized how low of a number 3 is

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 02:21 PM

harden needs 8+ for 3 to be safe

but not getting it.. no way lou sending harden out for 8 with 5run lead

Oi - I posted just before it :-)

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 02:31 PM

yea.. you posted when the bases were loaded.. lol

aznbluff · 07-31-08, 02:33 PM

Solid 7 pitch inning

LT Profits · 07-31-08, 02:35 PM

Even at 5-0, Under still has a chance since Edmonds is the only player hitting. Each team has only four hits through six.
