What is the deal with Cub's day games at Wrigley...the o/u is usually posted close to game time.
What is reason for this? I'm guessing to wait to see what the wind is doing?

Yep, because Wrigley is like two different stadiums depending on whether the wind is blowing in or out. Thus, you see lots of totals set at 7 or 11.

Can the Astros win it again today? I'm liking the Astros +220. Yeah, I know if you don't think they'll win, you shouldn't bet just because the line is in their favor, but they have a better than 2.2-1 or 45% chance of winning.
Thoughts?

the value is there, but it isnt always right to bet value when you have rich harden on the mound-1.5 era with the cubs or even less than that. they lose 2-0 yesterday. its hard to take cubs to lose twice in a row at home and not retaliate against a lefty that they fair well again(not 2 mention they r great vs lefties). Cubs win big today guys, if i had balls id put way more than 5 units on it.

I actually can't argue at +220.
This should be a low scoring game with the wind blowing in, so Houston worth a shot. I know Wandy is much better are home, but he actually allowed three runs or less in three of his last four road starts, and he tossed six scoreless the last time he pitched at Wrigley.
