Is wells worthy of -220+ yet?

Cubs look like the obvious pick but if you're playing value, should we read anything into Wells getting rocked last time out while Morton pitched 5 solid innings against the Cards before his bullpen let him down. No question Cubs are the fav big time...Any thoughts?

i'll be at the game today, i have not been at a game the cubs have lost for 2-1/2 years now, but that's not why you should play them.

i never play a line over -140ish really and don't play any baseball at this point. but the cubs have been on a skid, losing 5 of 6 and getting swept by Philly. But the Cubs are obvious in what they are -- a poser team. They are great against bad teams, especially at home, and terrible against good ones.

So off getting swept at home against the WS champs they now are playing the worst team out there deicimated by trades...Cubs scored just a few runs against the Phillies total and were outhomered 7-0

My point is this -- take the cubs on the RL at a normal size average wager. it is a winner because i see them hitting the crap out of the ball.

on a more personal note, i never leave games early but right now already am planning to leave by the 7th because the cubs will get up 10-2 by then imo....let's see how it shakes out

i am not betting baseball this season so i am not betting it, but have thought about this bet non-stop.

the only other bet i would like even better would be Cubs TT O5 with reasonable juice...i wouldn't bet O5.5 because that's too high for almost any situation

No doubt the Cubs suck ass. However the Pirates suck big-wide-smelly-Rosie O'Donnell type ass!

Watching Arbor system thread. Of the previous 75 qualifying series in his system only one has gone to a 4th game with that team winning. No series has pushed to a 5th game. The Cubs will be playing in game 4 today of this homestand. A roll of the dice says that the Cubs do not break the trend today. Minimum 7 strong is needed from Wells today. Fu*k Marmol and the rest of the pen!

ACE730, you seem very confused. In situations like that I go with what my gut tells me. What does your gut tell you?

Damn---Shoulda done the run line---Not complaining though!!! Nice calls everybody. You might have to leave in the 3rd inning, huh?
