Time to start fading Jake Arrieta

**smitch124** · 05-14-16, 09:06 AM

Had to get off the juice for an upcoming test?

Not sure if you're doing a triple reverse switcheroo here...
BUT
The Cubs get it done.

BOL Always

yeah no doubt..... but i'm thinking fading Jake on the ML and RL will be profitable for the rest of the season.

tired/dead arm is coming for this guy after that huge innings increase last year.

he's starting to show signs already.

wind going to be blowing out to right today. Over could be a good play if it is 8.0 or 8.5

**d2bets** · 05-14-16, 09:49 AM

So just take the over. Fading Arrieta means fading the Cubs offense too, which owns Pitt pitching and Locke in particular. Cubs love the wind blowing out.

And you're grasping for straws. Last start was off because they had the wrong catcher. One of those 4 walk starts was a fukkin no hitter.

Those last 4 starts where he's been so bad because he's walked 14....he's also allowed 11 hits in 26 innings. He's as difficult to hit as ever. .159 BAA leads the league and is better than last season.

Keep fading, I mean I guess you'll win eventually.

I like Cubs RL -115 today.

come on, come on

Cubs are 5-0 in Arrietas last 5 starts vs. Pirates.
Pirates are 0-4 in Lockes last 4 road starts vs. Cubs.

i know trends are meant to be broken but lol pass on this game.

O8.5-105.

Go for it. Seems like a tricky wind today. Swirling. Definitely windy, but not a typical warm blowing out day. It's cold.

**jjgold** · 05-14-16, 09:56 AM

Since Archie lives in Chicago I will take this recommendation very very seriously

Locke sucks on the road, sucks against the Cubs generally, horrible pitcher vs. batter vs. Cubs, and a flyball pitcher into the wind. Arrieta is in the Pirates' head.

This looks like another 9-4 Cubs win.

stop

**iloseagain** · 05-14-16, 10:14 AM

i would agree with you if the cubs offense sucked. however, it doesnt. and they score 9 runs with ease every game. over and cubs rl

yeah i'm thinking about taking the runline.

**chico2663** · 05-14-16, 10:23 AM

i did last game and he was down 3-1. went out thinking i'm in the money and they won 4-3

**Chi_archie** · 05-14-16, 10:25 AM

Pittsburgh team total over 3 -125!

The Cubs have only scored 9 or more runs in 6 games this year. I would not say that is every game with ease, 6 out of 34

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 05-14-16, 10:33 AM

So what's the play with the cubs

**StackinGreen** · 05-14-16, 10:35 AM

I started to see signs of this too ... but it's all about the ML

Maybe, as d2 points out, the play is the OVER

You should have said 7 runs and you'd be at about half of the games, and plenty to win the RL, given that the Cubs have allowed 6+ only 5 times all season.

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 05-14-16, 10:43 AM

fyi, chi archie is a pitt homer... just sayin' and d2bets knows about the cubs.

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 05-14-16, 10:49 AM

I'm playing the Cubs,white sox,game 1 wash Marlins parlay

**klemopixx** · 05-14-16, 10:54 AM

There's better plays out there than fading Arrieta

**goduke** · 05-14-16, 11:13 AM

Locke is such garbage though

**jjgold** · 05-14-16, 11:18 AM

It looks appealing though when you look at those lines when you bet against Jake

**NyanCat** · 05-14-16, 11:37 AM

How can you fade Arrieta.. him and the Cubs is such an easy

. Free money

how many times have people said this?

Main reason i dont think they lose today is cubs will not lose 3 of their last 4 HOME games, especially with Arrieta on the mound at home.. But GL if you fade the money train

**pimike** · 05-14-16, 11:52 AM

YES!!!

**Chi_archie** · 05-14-16, 01:02 PM

big position on Pirates +2.5 -135

Walk here and there don't hurt when they can't square you up.
