2pm friday-be honest you want to bet it!!!

Reds are aweful and the cubs are well the cubs!! Harden -200 seems a little high but he has always pitched extremely well against the reds but the last time he faced the reds cubs lost and that was with lehr pitching..had more to say but a little buzzed to be honest...

Love the avatar!!!!

JIVANY-back at ya!! going to destroy notre shame saturday!!

Hell yea we are!!!!

I follow the cubs religiously. Personally, I'm not going to play this game. It is a known fact that the Cubs usually struggle with pitchers they have never seen before, like Lehr and Torres from the CWS. I played those two dogs and cashed in nicely. :) However, today, the Cubs have already seen him once, and what are the odds that he does it again in the same ballpark? Oddsmakers apparently don't think Lehr will shut them down, but then again, they are the Cubs. I would never lay such a high number, I normally don't play anything over -130. If you play the Cubs, I would take the RL. The Cubs aren't worthy of this price.

Justin Lehr is a much different pitcher on the road and has not been pitching great in his last three starts. Last 3, he has gone 18.2 inn and given up 21 hits. Walking 11 and K'ing only 9. His stuff is not great lately. I attribute his 9 inn SO win against the Cubs as meerely the Cubs traditionally sucking against pitchers they haven't seen before.

Let's look at Harden. Take out his start against HOU recently and he has been pitching very well. When I place a bet, I never ask "who's going 9 innings for a win?" I ask, who's the guy that's going to keep his team in a game if they get down?" Keep in mind, last time Harden pitched against CINCY, he went 6 INN and gave up 1 HIT! CINCY has seen him already and probably has a better idea of what he's going to do, much like the Cubs against Lehr.

The only difference is that Harden is a veteran and will be able to make in game adjustments and know how to circumvent changes the Reds hitters have made. I'm betting Lehr doesn't.

Personally, I'm laying off the game. Too high juice for me. Plus, the Reds always seem to screw me. I'm on them, bats go cold. I'm against them, I get rocked. However, if I were to play it, CUBS -1.5 would be my best play. But like I said....

I'm laying off.

GL in your play and GOOOOO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

o/u 8.5

Wind must be blowing in pretty good,8.5 sure seems low with the pitchers.

I took every game off my schedule that included both teams eliminated from the playoffs.  It's so hard to pass up afternoon action!

Wind blowing from right to left at 9mph

Lots of foul balls, Cubs cant hit for shit, Reds suck, never would I lay 260 on the fucking Cubs,they have a 50% chance of winning by 1 run so the RL is out of the calculator, do the math........=Under

 

"Cubs should win"     .....   This is their fan's credo. 

Is there ever a day the Cubs shouldn't win?
