sherwood's comments on Flor vs Cubs:
"Ted Lilly had off-season arthroscopic shoulder and knee surgeries and thus far, he’s shown he has not fully recovered or at least he’s lost something. He’s already allowed four bombs in 17 innings and his one start at home was a complete disaster. He’s never had good numbers against the Marlins and that’s when he appeared a lot sharper than he does right now. Lilly has allowed 10 runs in 17 innings or work and let’s not ignore who he pitches for. The Cubbies are one of the most unappealing big favorites in the league. They lose more than they win, they’re pen is a mess, Lou Pinella doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going and they’ve lost five of its last six games to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The Marlins aren’t going much better but they’ve lost five of six to San Fran and Washington and they’re not laying 3/2. They’ve also been unlucky, as they’re losing by a run or two while the Cubbies are frequently getting slaughtered. In fact, three of the Cubs last six losses were by scores of 13-5, 11-1 and 14-7. Nate Robertson is a roll of the dice but he’s had four decent outings that include a game Philadelphia in which he did not allow a run and pitched into the seventh inning and he and the Marlins are definitely worth a play in this spot at this price. Play: Florida +1.41 (Risking 2 units)."
