Will Dempster even pitch today?

[HoulihansTX]

I'm not laying a single bet today, until after the trade deadline. lineups, bullpens, and starting pitching seem like fluid situations until then.

[PAULYPOKER]

Either way the Cubs will lose, so I suggest getting on the Pirate ship at these reduced rates in case of trade inflation............

[jagaf22]

Seems like every starting pitcher who's name has been mentioned in a trade the last week is scheduled to start tonight.


I just played Burnett -103 against Cubs Action...let's see how this plays out

Exactly what you should do if playing the Pirates tonight

Also, I suggest playing the Oakland Athletics (Milone) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (Action) - in case Shields moves

[MetalHeadJeff86]

Thats why I'm going with the Nats tonight vs. Philly. Good riddance Cliff Lee...for the second time.

Those are two pretty strong plays even if Shields and Dempster stay put. 3x on each for me. If those guys get dealt the line moves 30-40 points, you can then bet the other side and middle yourself some good profit.

[jagaf22]

I feel Shields, Beckett, Lee all stay put. Of course that could change in a hurry. Sure if you like the plays anyways, jump on them.

[HoulihansTX]

Beckett, and Ellsbury swirling in trade rumors.

Funny thing is that Beckett needs a good showing tonight in order to have any trade value, but thats too late.

[CrazyCarl]

If on the Cubs, take listed pitchers. Problem solved.

[jagaf22]

That's how I felt about Josh Johnson he had started to throw the ball really well but the 6 walks Sunday scared GM's away.

It's a no win situation. If Shields is traded, you don't know what line you're getting.

As for Dempster, he'll pitch unless he's traded, and the Cubs still are not getting an offer they like from LA.
