Tigers / Cubs In~Game, and my Best Bet

[Journeyman]

Something has to give here today-

Nate Robinson has been a very respectable 3-0 on the road this year, however he has struggled somewhat over his last 3 starts, last 20 IP, 11 ER, 29 base runners allowed.

The Tigers are a very good road team as well (23-10) , the last 7 games they have won on the road have all been by more than 1 run (7-0) and 19-4 on the road winning by more than 1 run (19-4) for the season.


The Cubs just got swept by Houston, they continue to be a bad baseball team, no other way of putting it.

The Cubs have lost 12 times this season when Rusch pitches, 11 of the 12 times they have lost by more than 1 run (11-1)

Glendon Rusch is 0-3 with a 12.83 ERA this year at Wrigley .

So the RL trend is a combined 30-5 if the Tigers win on the road and if the Cubs lose at home with Rusch pitching.


My play is Tigers -1.5 the line has not come out yet but should be around +104 ish

5 units on Detroit -1.5 +104

 

[Journeyman]

The Cubs are 12-17 at home, and have lost 10 of the 17 by more than 1 run, not a great stat, but when Rusch pitches and loses the stat is 11-1 overall.

wow, good work j-man.

Yes I do, I typed +140 I meant +104

 

[scarab]

thks....go Tigers

 

[Brubaker]

My only concern here is that the Cubs seem to step it up against good teams. Look at their record vs the top teams in MLB.

6-3 vs St Louis, 7-5 vs Cincy and 2-1 vs Dodgers.


GL to you!

 

[Journeyman]

Yeah but with Rusch? the guy is a gas can, I will take my chances, it is the percentage play, whether it wins or not we shall see....

This game IMO would cover atleast 60% of the time.

 

[Journeyman]

I just wanted to point out, if anyone is playing the Tigers play the RL instead...30-5 is worth it in comparison to laying -145

How can i go against your RL picks Journey! I mean money in the bank With the recent Toronto games, Rusch comes up with sparkling performances out of the blue sometimes, thats my only concern...

Very true but so does every pitcher...That MFer will probably throw 6 SO innings today just to F me...I have to go by the numbers though.

:toast: the numbers are pretty overwhelming though

I also love Detroit in this matchup Journeyman.

Cash it hard

Just adding some food for thought...

Detroit struggles to score BIG TIME against lefties.

They are only batting .229 against them this season which is holding down their team average of .270 overall.

They also score less than 4 runs a game vs lefties.

True, but SU they are 14-5 vs. lefties and up +8.5 units on the year against them. It may be a low scoring game, but with the Cubs offense, that makes this is an even more likely win for the Tigers.

Right...they have been great against everyone (especially on the road). I was just making the scoring stat known because this was a run line play...not moneyline.

 

[Journeyman]

Rusch is not even an average lefty though

 

[FairWarning]

Journey, can you delete my Cubs/Tigers thread. Didn't see this one.

Thanks.

 

[Journeyman]

Okay what was Granderson doing?

unreal

 

[Journeyman]

Oh my...this could be a crazy game , I have a feeling.

 

[Journeyman]

Nate with a HBP and an error already! 2 pitches into the game.
