Chicago Cubs -310 ???

[Betallsports]

What am I Missing Here ??

I know it's the Nats and all, but we are talking about a 8-7 Pitcher ( Harden )

What Gives ?

I dunno man. I hate the lines this week. Way too pricey for no reason. I would only pay -310 if the Cubs had blown out the Nats yesterday 22-1.

Hard call! Rather play nats! they seem to upset alot of bettors!

Agree, they have been playing that Role the past couple of years.

3 hits, 6 IP, 7 K's, 0 BB, .143 OBA in previous outing vs. Nats (7/16)
3-1, 1.64, 0.77, .136 OBA since the break

The Nats have won 6 of their last 10 on the road. I like the Cubs to win, but nothing in MLB is worth -300 or worse, IMO.

-ETC

Really only Lee has been better in the second half than Harden. Having said that, only one way to look - Wash, thanks to the Cubs lack of hitting. Rain all day in Chicago. Best scenerio is to play ACTION if you like Wash because of the rain, and listed pitchers if you are playing the Cubs.

My plays for this game: (5 Dimes)

2* Wash +270
2* Wash +2.5 -135
1* Wash -1.5 +415
1* Wash -2.5 +650

Only game I am playing today.

The closer it gets to October, the worse the lines get. Some really ridiculous prices this time of year. How many 2 to 1 favs the last few days, when the line should be -160 or -170? The answer is way too many. That is why most people get off of baseball around the end of August.

Here's my reasoning . Harden is 2-0 ERA 0.69 career against Washington. In 13 innings pitched against Washington , Harden has allowed only 1 run and 5 hits. (<)<

Playing on Nats is nothing but a waste of cash. There's much better betting opportunities on board then betting on Nats.

Since visitors are a poor road team and they won 1 game already, I don't see any reason to bet on them.

What about betting on Cubs?

There's good way to deal with heavy juice lines like this. Don't place your wagers "to win", use "Risk". I mean, don't use American Odds! Place your wagers in a Decimal Odds approach. Odds for Cubs are -286 (Not -310 in Matchbook) and you should not place 286$, just place 100$ to win 35-38$. Even if you lose, you won't lose too much btw.

Maybe so, but I am fading them every day. If I lose today, it is the money I put out yesterday on them. I am way up fading the Cubs.

Cubs are 5-13 last 18. -300 plus!!! Nuts!!! Like Eat the Chalk said, Wash is 6-3 their last 9 road games, including 4 consecutive. The bullpen problems that killed Wash game after game in the first half have been somewhat corrected.

The value is clearly with the Gnats win or lose.

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Cubs are barely in the post season hunt. BARELY. Meaning a lot of players probably have October fishing trips in their mind. Can't lay that juice.

 

[Betallsports]

How would you like to be laying -300 on this game !!

Early still, but a 3-1 Fav, should be winning by 3+ runs right now

Yeah well Add 2 runs and another 5 hits....and their in the 5th

Too bad this is Livan's last inning. Need to get Harden out and into the bullpen.
