Astros over Cubs Friday afternoon

[Philphan]

After further review probably a pass... I will be on Atlanta, San Fran, and probably Arizona

I agree, I would say pass on this game but if the line continues to climb I would jump on the Cubbies.

Big z turned it around after asb last year, I think he will shut down stros today

I would fade the cubs @ home during theday on a friday if they were playing the Lincoln saltdogs.......Zam-Bruno is a filthy bum

Line moving strongly towards the Cubs. 10c in the past half-hour. Anyone have a guess why? Injury? Roster change?

[Giant Rebels]

Cubs and over parlay is a lock. I have a connection in Astros organization and Norris was up all night with strep throat.

I've got this game at about a coin flip, which means there is certainly value taking the Astros. Cubs may be slightly better than the Astros, but not -155 better as the line suggest. Especially for a match up between two teams in the same division.

Also, Bud Norris > Zambrano.

Giant rebels serious or are you bullshitttin us?

I have friends in the cubs organization and they are telling me zambrano ate 6 pizzas 12 quarter pounders and 2 sticks of butter for dinner ....

On this rumor alone, I would probably lay off. But I know Zambrano, and he could easily take down 15 quarter pounders. Over eating won't be an issue in this game.

Respect Bud Norris but he doesn't have the bats or arms behind him..Cubs take lead in the 8th and win

[TT22]

Houston, if I'd have to choose.

Astros over the Cubs today... at least for 4.5 innings. Can't trust the Astros bullpen.

Here is my analysis:

* Astros are 4-2 against the Cubs this season, with the last three wins coming at Wrigley.
* Zambrano is horrendous against Right handed batters; the Astros having the most AB's in the league as Right.
* Righties are hitting .187 against Norris; Cubs are also righty heavy. Also, Norris has strong "Day" numbers.
* Great value with Astros as a +140 dog.
