What better way to enter the MidSummer Classic than a rivalry game w/ an All Star pitching match-up under the lights on ESPN. Travis Wood has been $ for me every time I pulled the trigger on him throughout this first half. He has 17 quality Starts already!
Adam Wainwright going for his 13th win, which will mean he isn't going to pitch in the Classic on Tuesday Evening. Since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2011, Wainwright is 0-2 with a 5.90 ERA in five starts against the Cubs (42-50). He gave up four runs over seven innings in his only matchup this season, a 4-2 loss June 18.
The Cubs have been playing much better ball as of late winning 11 of their last 17 and even though they are way down in the standings the rivalry w/ the cards still runs deep.
Besides Soriano, most hitters have not seen their opposing pitcher that often.
In a pitching duel like this one, how can you not take the home squad at +151?
914 Chicago Cubs +151 (Wood)
Not a huge play or anything just a typical wager. We gotta have action on the last game before the break!
Good Luck on you're plays gentlemen
