Coleman is complete garbage, Minor has been decent. Cubs vs. lefties are bad, juice isn't awful. It's a road favorite but Cubs have not been good at home either.

I may follow but Cubs scare the hell out of me. I'm annoyed Indians ML is so ridiculously expensive - I think they win behind Masterson for sure.

I agree on Masterson but won't lay that juice. I will be surprised if Coleman lasts 5 innings.

Braves TT is the play here.

BIGDAY · 08-23-11, 07:32 AM

Braves look to be one of the better selections on the board today.

Boxer300 · 08-23-11, 08:12 AM

I like the Braves TT. Only thing that scares me is they are inconsistent scoring runs. One game they will score 7 or 8 runs then the next game they only get 1. Hopefully Coleman will suck like he normally does and the Braves can score more than 1 or 2 runs off him and that pathetic Cubs bullpen.

I think Minor had 12K's last time he faced the Cubbies in Wrigley.

lolguy999 · 08-23-11, 09:05 AM

lol really? I dont care how much you guys think how much coleman's garbage Cubs at home game #2 is the way to go

Boxer300 · 08-23-11, 09:14 AM

Cubs? Really? Did you see how many runners were left on base yesterday? Maybe the Cubs pull one out of their ass because we all know this is baseball and anything can happen but no way I would back that sorry team or Coleman.

aufordboy · 08-23-11, 09:27 AM

Minor has looked great recently...I'm going to put a small play on Atlanta tonight.

lakerboy · 08-23-11, 09:32 AM

good luck cougar.

KnowingNothing · 08-23-11, 09:46 AM

Love the play. Too many issue sfor the Cubs here at the moment.

Pete0 · 08-23-11, 10:10 AM

Thunderstorm likely for this game.

Would you think it has any affect ??

Good luck.

brahmabull117 · 08-23-11, 10:26 AM

it's raining hard right now (I live 40 miles from the stadium), wouldn't surprise me if they postpone the game today

SaintsFan · 08-23-11, 10:27 AM

I don't like betting on Atlanta or Philadelphia or Milwaukee as of last week b/c none of them are playing for anything anymore. They're all virtually settled as far as playoff seeding. To lay the juice that you're going to lay with them is scary, especially against a young free-swinging team like the Cubs that's been playing enthusiastic ball lately.

yahoonino · 08-23-11, 10:29 AM

Cubs it the play for my money,,,,,,,

there's still about 40 days of baseball left dude, teams don't start going into cruise control until the last 2 weeks of the season or so

Good luck CB.

Brock Landers · 08-23-11, 10:32 AM

get some Cougar!!

esulima · 08-23-11, 10:37 AM

take the over in this game best bet

Housemoney · 08-23-11, 01:27 PM

My only bet for today. If this one losses, I am down for the day. Brock being on this too scares me. If he and I are on the same play, it is usually a loser.

Cubs have a great lineup vs. lefties dont know where you get that and Minor is pitching good but he is a lefty who throws mostly fastballs could get torched by the Cubs with the wind blowing out must be with the total

cadillac pete · 08-23-11, 02:22 PM

Never a bad idea to go against the Lovable Losers....

There will be 3 Cubs players in the lineup tonight who bat above .300 this year vs. LHP.

There will be 4 Cubs players in the lineup tonight who bat below .260 vs. LHP.

ESPN splits...that just tells me they don't mash lefties. They are 22nd in the league vs. LHP.

ESPN is the place for MLB stats! Find a list of the Batting team stat leaders for the 2025 MLB Regular Season.

Cubs are 14-19 on the year vs. LHP and Minor has struck out 18 Cubs in 2 games vs. the Cubs. That's my play, now let's see if they get this game in.

5-0 good start

Brock Landers · 08-23-11, 08:09 PM

about time they hit that panty waste on the mound!

5-0!

lakerboy · 08-23-11, 08:17 PM

NardVa · 08-23-11, 08:31 PM

Game over. You can take ATL ML and RL to the bank.

Cougar Bait · 08-23-11, 09:11 PM
