Just Jake being Jake

Ho-hum another shutout appearance as he completes the best 2nd half pitching performance in modern day baseball with a 0.75 ERA. Shutouts in 10 of his last 15 starts. 12 straight team wins and 17 of 18. And 20 consecutive quality starts.

How can you bet against this guy next Wednesday? He's also dominated on the road (13-1) and dominated in 3 recent starts vs. Pitt (9 hits in 22 IP).

Be real interesting to see the line for that game. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of Cubs -140 (assuming at Pitt; -180ish at home).

[gregmav1]

Been cashing on him for the last 2+ months. Honestly extremely easy money to take Cubs -1.5 every time hes on the mound. I've done it almost every time and I think cashed 90% of the time at good odds. Great stuff.

And yeah game vs. Pirates, man that sucks so bad for them. Pirates probably slightly overall the better team, but Arrieta just lights out the best player on either team and he gets the ball against them.

I think Cubs -140 is right about perfect too.

Cy Young

Its historic now

And how about a total for that game? 5.5 I guess and wouldn't touch the over.

I don't think it will be 5.5. Both teams have had some high scoring games against each other. Assuming it's Cole v Arrieta I bet it will be at least 6, most likely 6.5

Cubs will end up being cubs

From recent to older...

Arrieta's game vs, Pitt:
4-0
3-2
5-0
3-0
5-2

Cole's games v. Cubs:
3-2
5-4
4-1
8-4

Not 6.5. Maybe somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0. Like O5.5-120 or O6+105.

watch him lose the fukkin playoff game

Its possible 1 game

The only 5.5 games I see are Bumgarner vs Kershaw games. Even Cole vs Arrieta I think will be 6 or 6.5 man

I was already thinking about this, could easily happen. Nerves, at Pitt, crowd pumped, Pirates pumped... Pirates have been here before and Cubs haven't... going to be crazy if Arreita is just fuc.king INSANE for the last half of the season and then wild card game goes 5 innings and gives up 5.

Only if it's like 1-0.

If you do take Pitt, just go ahead and parlay it hard with the fukkin under.

The Cubs can be prone to failing to get runs in if they don't HR. So its's certanly possible Cole could shut the Cubs out and win like 1-0.

Literally anything is possible as baseball can be a fluky game with bloopers and errors and such, but it surely would shock me if that happened. If Cubs lose, more likely it's like 1-0 or 2-1.

[gregmav1]

Oh absolutely, I'm not saying it's likely, I just yeah, could see it happening because like you said baseball is flukey. I'm a Cards fan and 2 games in a row Kershaw owned us for 6 innings and suddenly gave up 6 in the 7th. Arrieta has been so consistent that most likely he goes again 8 innings and gives up 1 run, but if he gets blown out it would just be another crazy MLB Playoff/Wild Card story

[gregmav1]

Cubs held Arrieta to 72 pitches tonight.... what a great call.

[TheMoneyShot]

Can't wait to see the opening line on Arrieta post season. Probably going to be the fastest wager of my life.

What's your guess?

I say -130 going to -140.

[MickeyMan]

Cubs are -113.

[gregmav1]

o/u 6 like i predicted. but wow yeah that's quite the low line for Arrieta.... man these wild card games are fun

[pavyracer]

1 game pressure. He could implode.

Nope it's closer to 5.5 like I said. High 5.5 or low 6. Exactly as I said. But Cubs -115 or so is a gift.

[gregmav1]

I'm seeing 6 and only 6 on 5Dimes but whatever. I agree Cubs/Arrieta -115 is crazy... Would have thought at least -130 or so but these wild cards just super even i guess

Pinnacle has O6+111; Bookmaker 5.5-110 both ways.

[d2bets]

Ho hum another shutout.

That's 33 straight innings and counting, without allowing an earned run. If he keeps this up, he could end up with the greatest run ever for a pitcher.

Okay we get it you're a Cubs fan.
