Wind Blowing Out To Right At Wrigley Field At 20mph

Cubs over 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 team totals runs.

Total is 8.5 and Cubs TT is 3.5 even under. 3,5 for Mets too They expect low scoring by the Cubs

Good luck CH.  

This cold front sucks. Feels like 32 out there after 81 and humid yesterday. 

Good Luck 

Peralta’s fastball is flying out today.  Highs in the 50’s this afternoon.  Quite comfortable.  Launchpad at the plate.  

Peralta struggles mightily at times.

 I like your confidence and have followed for years.

Thanks for putting on my radar.

High of 62* in Chicago today according to my weather app.

Im 2 hours west of Wrigley.  Wind is blowing and the sun is shining.  A great day for baseball.

 Let’s get this 

@Cranky_Hank

 If it hits 50, I'd call it a "nice" day.  Should feel like about 45 for most of the game, but some sun will help 

Good Luck  Cranky,  I'm on CC  TT  Ov 3-,  

I went to Wrigley/Comiskey 20+ years ago, Wrigley was awesome to watch a game drinking beer in right field on a Hot Summer day.

Visiting friends in Belvidere/Rockford

Those two pitchers would be listed as groundball pitchers,hence the low total on a windy day.

@DJParker12

 Over 3.5 should be a real “safe bet” but anything can happen when gambling.

I really can’t see a 2-1 ballgame.  The Cub players know how to use Wrigley to their advantage.  The should be chomping at the bit to get back to the “Friendly Confines” and continue their scoring from yesterday.

@KingScorpio

 Look, it’s Debby Downer.  

I hope you hit it Hank. But Peralta has owned this Cubs lineup in the past.

Good Luck 

From the NY Times -

Importantly for his fit with the Yankees, Peralta is a fly-ball pitcher, but he did an excellent job of limiting hard contact in 2025. Only 12 starters had a better xwOBA, which measures contact quality, than Peralta last season.

Peralta probably isn’t a No. 1 starter for the Yankees, but he has the talent to take the ball in Game 2 for the club in the postseason. If all of the Yankees’ starters were healthy, they could roll out a rotation that featured Fried, Peralta, Cole, Rodón and Schlittler as their top five. And if each of them pitches to his potential, that would be the best rotation in the American League.

Mets last 10 games - Mets: 1-9, .206 batting average, 6.00 ERA, outscored by 39 runs

BOL today Hank!
