    I like the Cubs again tonight

    I was all over Milwaukee when I started lookin at this game, Andersen has done well against the Cubs and Chatwood is a virtual walk machine, but.....After further review, Scatwood is the better pitcher and the Cubs do have the better lineup, defense and a slightly better Pen- factor in the momentum and I gotta take the Cubs +104 at Wrigly Field North...

    CHICAGO CUBS +104

    Also Jon Grey is very talented (I have him OVER 11.5 Wins -115) he's on schedule to get that, but he's been a big dissapointment this year and has even had the local media talking about sending him down to the minors to get his sh!t together. He's capable of throwing 8 shutout innings and getting the Rockies past their horrendous Bull Pen and right to Wade Davis, but i wouldnt bet on it. While Nola looks the the greatest thing vs Sliced Bread.

    Chatwood has great stuff, if he could control it, he'd be a top 10 pitcher..He can't- He's he's giving up 6 and 7 walks and still winning because he doesnt give up many hits.. I'd love to see him get a better handle on it tonight...

    Yeah I hesitated when I posted that...Top 25 maybe- I hated the guy in Colorado and made a lot of money betting against him, but there's no deny'ing he has very good velocity and movement, with control issues.. I guess those kind of guys are a dime a dozen in the minors, but the Cubs didn't give him 50 million or whatever for no reason..He has talent

    Its all subjective- He looks great at times...I've seen his ball move 3 feet before....He just can't get it together and if you ever see him pitching at Coors field, put your entire piggy bank on the other team, kid......Andersen walks a lot of guys too and I think the Cubs outscore the Brewers Tonight

    I think the pick is 50/50, but I'd slightly lean Cubs as well. He wouldn't be top 25 either, that's saying he could be an ace on a bottom feeder. I could see him being a solid 3 with better control, but he'll always be a 4 or 5.

    My numbers marginally like the Brewers 1st 5 innings here here. I'm not going to bet against the Cubs who have been playing well as of late though. Likely a no play for me but GL on the cubbies today Terrible.

    Have him on my fantasy team. He's lights out until he loads the bases with walks.

    Chase walks like 4 guys a game too...And his stuff isn't as nasty, and he doesn't have that defense behind him, or the Cubs lineup



    Thats why

    Chase also giving up HRs at a very high rate of late. Cubs are in the Brewers heads big time right now - If its close Brewers will find a way to lose, like last night. Cubs and a slight lean over 9

    There are advantages to being that wild..They always take the first pitch so he gets a free strike if he can throw it, and.....He's scary- He threw 2 fastballs last time out right at the batters heads and they went all the way to the screen. Guys are sometimes bailing out of the box while striking out

    To a certain degree, he's effectively wild
