Did see value in the Cubs as home dog and some nice stats to support it, one being:
Play On - Home teams (CHICAGO CUBS) - with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 5.70 or worse on the season (NL), with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 3.00 the last 15 games.
(63-25 over the last 5 seasons.) (71.6%, +43.9 units. Rating = 4*)
The average money line posted in these games was: Team underdog with a money line of: +109.4
The average score in these games was: Team 5.5, Opponent 3.8 (Average run differential = +1.7)
The situation's record this season is: (13-2, +11.9 units).
Over the last 3 seasons the situation's record is: (39-15, +27 units).
Since 1997 the situation's record is: (129-84, +48.4 units).
