If You're A Stats Guy, Cubs Look Good Today

[Cougar Bait]

Brewers' relievers have pitched 11 innings in the last 3 games.
Cubs generally beat up on Dave Bush (he's 1-1 with 3 ND's last 5)
Cubs are the highest scoring team in the league at 5.3 runs per game.
Cubs have the second best hits stat in the league at 9.6 per game.
Cubs lead the league in walks with 4.0 per game.
Cubs have the second stingiest defense in the league at 4.2 runs per game.
Cubs have the best hits allowed in the league, allowing 8.3 per game.
Cubs lead the league in K's with 7.9 per game.

Cubs have Wells going as well who I think is still a little undervalued at this point, though Vegas does see the advantage with him over Bush today making the Cubs a decent sized favorite. Line is anywhere from Cubs -132 (Pinny) to -145 (Bookmaker). I think it's good for a medium sized play.

think Wells will shut the Brewers down but probably won't score much either

[Chi_archie]

you are way way way way off with your cubs stats? where did you get that shit?
lol

[rm18]

those stats looked wrong but I assumed they were right

[Boner_18]

LOL just picked picked the cubs in some contests. Lets go Cubbies!!!

[gr1624]

Like the Brewers today Bush will pitch well and Milwaukee has not had a real good hitting game this year with the day off yesterday I am expecting there first one. Brewers win 8-3 today.

Cougar are you a diehard Cubs fan?

[RockBottom]

Cubs are 14th in runs/game in the NL http://www.baseball-reference.com/le...-batting.shtml

[kato]

go stats!

[G's pks]

I am a stats guy...not only have the cubs not pitched well..especially in relief this year but they are in the bottom ten in ERA for all of MLB, not just the National League.

But GL go Cubbies!

[Chi_archie]

for the record, cubs have scored 27 runs in 7 games are hitting .227

Who lives by Wrigley?

The King needs a reputable wind source..

In?
Out?
Gusts?

[Enogsiwon]

Thinking this Total goes with the wind...

[Chi_archie]

o/u 11.... seems drastic, because its not that windy.... i'm about 5 miles from wrigley....


Wells gets lit up by the brew crew though

[Enogsiwon]

Thinking Under First Five.. As long as it isn't too windy, one if not both of these guys should throw enough strikes to stay away from the big inning..

[TheLock]

I think I'm fading Cougar based simply on this ridiculous, homerific first post he has made

[BeatTheJerk]

StatFox sheet gives them an extreme edge today to win. Sometimes that can be a good thing. If the bullpen has in edge it also helps. Kinda too early to decipher though.

I don't think it was a homer post necesarily...I think he was just looking at some 2009 stats for somthing.....


i'm not sure where he got that shit

[Enogsiwon]

Archie,

Wind Update..

These fukks have been pitching OK.. Gonna take under (6) first five if not too windy.. Thinking they give up a couple solo shots or 2 run jobbers...

[pat venditto]

ANGELS -2.5

[Enogsiwon]

ANGELS -2.5

Angels TT Over (4)

Vazquez is not made to pitch in NY..

[pat venditto]

The king give me some points you prick.

[Chi_archie]

Vazquez has a 10 million dollar arm and nickel brain....... he might do okay the first half, but when things start to get intense in New York???? forget about this guy will crack.... couldn't even take Ozzie's pressure...

[pat venditto]

King

[pat venditto]

King thanks pally.

[Enogsiwon]

Archie, you need one of those wireless home depot weather stations..

Go set it up by wrigley, give us fukks to the second wind readings

[tblues2005]

lol Enogsiwon.

[pat venditto]

[Enogsiwon]

King thanks pally.

Go win a 12 teamer and hook us up with some freeplays..

[pat venditto]

The cubs are terrible man do not bet on them.

[pat venditto]

[Willie Bee]

Archie, you need one of those wireless home depot weather stations.

Or you could use the webcam that's already available (link).

Willie Bee,

Can't check on this old Iphone..

[rm18]

[Cougar Bait]

Guess I gotta stop using SBR for stats

Still got a Cubs win out of it.

Play was mostly based on Wells as a starter, by the way prior to today this is my baseball record for the year:

35-23 +53.59 units

For haters who think I'm an amateur at this I am (the capping part). But I have been a baseball fan my whole life. LaTroy Hawkins is so poor at Wrigley it's not even funny...got lucky today though, I'll admit that much. I am a Cubs fan, I do spot bet on them, but I will bet against them as well.
