    Pirates-Cubs Friday Afternoon

    Leaning heavy on the OVER even if the number has not been set.'

    Correia v. Davis

    Wind will be blowing in at around 10 mph according to the reports I have seen. Still, Correia's starts have hit OVERs in 7 of 10. Day starts 4 of 5, Away starts 4 of 6. Looks like nine runs is about the average for his starts. Davis sucks. Cubs are 8-2 on OVERs in their last ten and 16 of 25 at Wrigley this season. If it's 9 or less, I think the OVER is a solid play on Friday afternoon.

    Will see what the lineups and the # yield.

    If they don't sit anyone, keep the everyday lineups on the card you are good. Best of luck!

    I think this number is going to be hung low. Forecast is calling for Winds around 15-17 mph which is IN from Left Center. Hoping for an over reaction at 8 or 8.5. Probably difficult for the books to figure out where to place a Doug Davis total. Had one solid start vs. an inept offensive SF team and got pounded by Boston.

    I've placed a small bet on the Cubs.

    8 at the SBR book at +100. Going with the Over. Will wait in lineups and look to see who the ump is.

    Record was 2-1 last I checked. Never understood the basis for that bet though, seems kinda arbitrary to me.

    I was thinking the over too before I saw this thread. Will probably be a solid play.

    Even with the wind blowing in the over looks easy, the P-rats might have 8 runs by the 5th inning with Doug Davis pitching.

    Correia 6.62 ERA at Wrigley in four career starts although his last two have been pretty good.

    Was looking at under with wind and Pirates poor offensive #'s, but Doug Davis last 3 day game starts are BAD.

    Lineups look fine to keep the play on the Over. Just waiting to see the ump to see if that influences me any, but there's been plenty of times lately where the ump doesn't make a shit's worth of difference when the pitchers suck.

    O7.5 for me today. Aramis is back in the lineup, which is all the info I needed with Davis/Correia on the mound.

    Over looks good, but if the wind is blowing in pretty good then I'm not too sure...

    Common misconception that the wind blowing in at Wrigley always means more unders. Numbers this year when the wind is blowing in ... 9 of 12 .. OVER. Certainly doesn't help to blow in, but if the pitching stinks, the pitching gets got.
