Early Game: PIRATES vs. CUBS 2:20pm Est

[2PLAYSMAX]

Would be a fool to completely rule out the Bucs with the cold Cubs bats.

Waiting on the totals to emerge.

 

[MONDOGECKO]

Probably gonna go with the obvious play, Cubs -1.5. Hard to make a case for the Pirates who are 18-41 on the road.

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Is the O/U @9.0 too high for two team struggling on offense.

hhmmm...wondering if there is an explosion of runs all of a sudden

Pittsburgh just ended theire series with Colorado last nite and now are playing a day game in Chicago. Tired team and their bullpen arms have to be tired after getting shelled the last couple of games.

I like the Cubs -1.5 and Over 9

I believe Rami's returning today...@)

 

[MarksMoneymakers]

Get the feeling the cubs bats due to explode and who better to do it against than the pathetic road pirates.

cubs and over

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Going with the Tot OV 9.

To me the line should be around 8.5, but i'm no expert so i'll go with my gut and hit the OV for the game.

Aramis Ramirez and Milton Bradley OUT today

looks like an under special , although i also heard the wind could start really blowing after 3 o' clock ? im passing. @)

that should be ... blowing out after 3:00

Charlie Morton when on can silence a lot of bats, however Morton has been more off than on, take the Cubs -1.5 -110 small, or take a pass.

 

[JBoston107]

I actually like the Cubs w/ Bradley n Ramirez out. Big game for them today being 4.5 back in division and WC race. After this 3 gm series they are off to the west coast for a 7 gm, 7 day stretch. They need some momentum!!

 

[JBoston107]

Cubs RL and cubs tm over 5 for me. Baby bears take it 7-2.

 

[dlweaver]

on the pirates..... too much value at +210 we will see. not going with the cubs until they can prove they turn it around.

 

[TomorrowsNewspaper]

call me crazy but without Ram they struggle on offense.

I took Pitt +220 last night. I guess I hate money.

 

[JBoston107]

Cubs have been struggling and on a 5 game skid yet oddsmakers put them at -240. These people aren't that stupid. They want people to see "apparent" value on the bucos. Wells will pitch well today after his embarassing start against a solid Rockies team. Cubs did fine without AR for most of the season and they'll do it again today.

 

[billhill999]

Well, I guess we can lock up that Cub r/l wager.
I can't see the Buccos getting 2 or more.

 

[JBoston107]

Wow. Feels good when you hit your bet in the bottom of the 2nd!! Cubs tm over 5 CASHED!!

 

[TheSaint]

congrats man, hope they'll hold the rl steady namean

 

[JBoston107]

So much for all that value on the Buccos!! 8-0 baby bears!! Guess I underestimated the Cubs offense today. Thought they would only throw up 7 runs.
