Cubs are 7-3 L10, so if you ever were thinking of backing them now is the time. It's gonna be cool in Pittsburgh today (low 50's) so that generally means low scoring and I like to back the guy that doesn't put many guys on, but it could also mean a 1-0 game and this is the Cubs so I don't take anything for granite! I am not on them - going hockey only today - but thats my take - Value in Cubs today
