Cubbies -400! Are you kidding me?

[Steeltown]

When was the last time there was a bases game at -400?

[Kaps]

even though the cubs will most likely win easily ......its a baseball gm and anything can happen
take the nats and if you can lay runs .....should be a juicy payback

[TheLock]

Cubs @ -400 = ZERO value.

Amirite fellas?

[VegasDave]

If this game were played 100 times, would the Cubs win 81+?

If yes, then there is "value"... 7600 lost on the 19 losses and 8100 won on the 81 wins, and you have yourself a profit.

The problem is one would have to make that bet all 100 times. Most people don't bet that way.

Indeed. But if you bet every solid -400 line you see with the same amount of money each time, it could be a profitable affair if you win 4+ outta 5 of these.

[Brock Landers]

Rich Harden has been as good as anyone in baseball since he joined the cubs, the line reflects that, and washington is as bad a team as there is

Oh, I definitely know what you're talking about. I'm speaking for the casual bettor (majority)

[Tsoprano]

4k to win an easy dime.

Cubs runline would probably be worth it, I smell a BLOWOUT tomorrow!!

[mtneer1212]

How about Paul Maholm, who is having a very good year for the Pirates, @ +275 against CC Sabathia, whose arm should fall off any day now given that he is pitching 11 innings a game since he has been with the Brew Crew. I think there is good value there.

[BigD]

baseball is getting tough to play these days with these lines. We need football can't wait for CFB this week

[smitch124]

ok I parlayed the Cubs with the sun coming up tommorow...

Bet $1000 to win $10.32

[awholelottalumps]

Looks like another 2.5 run line play for me as Harden is unhittable.

I have a feeling Sabathia might lose his first game today and at +275 and Maholm pitching well it's worth a shot.

[Grassus]

Why do You think Sabathia would loose? He is playing the Pirates. And they suck!!!

[jjgold]

Well I am taking them on RL

Favs are winning a lot

Aug 24 6:26am2 Team Parlay - Pending500.00 to win 320.31

1. Baseball - Milwaukee Brewers - moneyline (-320)
for the entire game held on Aug 24 at 1:05pm [pending]
P Maholm -L must start and C Sabathia -L must start for action

2. Baseball - Chicago Cubs - moneyline (-400)
for the entire game held on Aug 24 at 1:20pm [pending]
J Bergmann -R must start and R Harden -R must start for action

[Chi_archie]

Sabathia isn't God, he is due for a bad or at least mediocre start... I can see him let down against a sub-par team, plus his workload is getting high..coming off a 130 pitch outing too. With Maholm pitching super of late, its worth a shot. Pirates have a way of winning games they have no business winning..and losing ALL the rest.

[Chi_archie]

are we gonna see a -450 or even -500 line this year...its getting crazy

[Brock Landers]

This also represents the fact that its the rubber game of the series, the cubs are highly unlikely to lose a series at home to Washington at this point...

I like that one more, better starter, and better team.

Don't know when the LAST time was, but I do remember this game from 2000:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS200005060.shtml

Boston and Martinez was a -400 favorite against Tampa Bay and Trachsel. Tampa bay won 1-0.

[BuddyBear]

bet a lot of guys have parlayed CHC/MIL today......
