CHC @Stl. Total O/U 13.5??

How is this total so high??

Steele had been solid

Wainwright, so/so

Yes, bullpens are horrible, but will they give up that many runs? STL has been relying on the long ball to score. CHC had been winning and putting up runs, but the team is better vs LHP ( most of their recent success) 

TOTAL O/U 13.5 your thoughts

there in london and steele and cubs did beat cards in may 10-4

Look at the venue !

Dimensions

L-330, Center-392, R-330

Bush Stadium

L-336, Center-400, R-335

Now this game is being played indoors. How does that affect the distance of batted balls. To get the over, I believe dingers are a must

when Yankees played Boston in London scores were 17-13, and 12-8, why bet the game, lots of other baseball, or just parlay Cubs and Over and sit and watch a lot of home run balls.

There shall be massive amounts of points this game.  Cubs 15 St Louis 9

Runs, not points 

@diondimucci

 Please stop typing point. RUNS, this is baseball not football Or basketball lol

@the1toturn2

@smgambler

 "Points" lol is this guy gonna call goals in soccer / futbol   "points" too? 

Or just take the Cubs and enjoy.

Their bats are rolling and they will tee off on wainwright

it is wainwright's 47th birthday today so watch the birthday angle...

@buckubad

 so maybe wainwright has 47 pitches in the 1st inning thats a bday wish for the over

tomorrows game the total is 14 also and its starts at 1010 am

It is his 42 not 47 birthday    What is "the birthday angle?"

@the1toturn2

  maybe the angle is 5 years off in age lol

We just have to wait until someone tells us what the script is  AFTER the game goes final of course like they always do 

The game being in London tells you enough, MLB looking for fans and if I was Londish and this was my first time watching an MLB game, what would make me continue watching? Runs and a lot of runs. These balls will be juiced for the “Shock factor” of getting more London fans. This will go over the total by the 7th inning 

you mean ‘points’ right ? 

@nattyorange

 bingo.  MLB needs this to be exciting.  

Great more conspiracy bullshit  I guess this is the equivalent to magnets in the basketball

@the1toturn2

 Find me the another time when two teams combined for 50 runs in back to back games.  Hardly a conspiracy, when two games have been played in this venue, and both have soared over the number given today.  Waino relies on a curve ball that, when its hung, will get beat all over the place.  Cards fair well vs left handed pitching, and both bullpens stink.  They play 10-8 games seemingly on a yearly basis in Chicago, no reason it wouldn't happen again here. 

sounds like cards has no chance with the boomer today 

Look at the Venue and it's London-- they want as many runs as possible to sell the game---Very small ballpark

You can bounce the ball on the turf in this park. 

lots of balls not getting caught. Runners getting on base easier here.
