Im with cardinals tomorrow. mline & RL, its a very huge value for wacha and for the cardinals, even though arrieta is pitching I just see a good day for the cardinals and the public will pound the cubs.

Absolutely i have to take the risk at +220 or whatever it is. Do need cardinals for my series bet though so hopefully they get it done

Wacha's been lit up 3 times in 3 months vs. that lineup.

Tough not to bet the +220

+220 for the cards? say it out loud....

Arrieta vs philly wouldn't get higher than +300, ever.

Anything can happen.

Arietta could go full game or Cardinals could work up some big counts and arietta only goes 5/6 and then you got a -260 line riding on the bullpen talk about yikes.

Cubs Bro!!! I'm staying away, if I bet it will be the O/U. I can see what you mean with the value but I just cant bet against Arrieta.

Gimme the only 100 win team any day of the week with those type of underdog odds. 

Its the playoffs and all of a sudden they are worth that little ? come on now

Jake is bound to lose at some point. Or maybe no run support as usual with a perfectly pitched game. U never know

Exactly, as much as I'll be rooting for the cardinals not saying they win this game but to bet them at +220 is a steal in my book. And you never know maybe Arrieta will allow 1 or 2 runs early

This is the best case scenario for the Cardinals to win tomorrow.

as stated above.......he's been shelled 3x by the cubs this year (so they can clearly get to him and they won't need much with arietta on the bump).

also, keep in mind that wacha has let up 21 earned runs the last 24 innings he's pitched. that doesn't bode well against arietta. he's only given up those same 21 runs over his last 167 innings.  that's quite a difference. don't throw you're money at wacha with arietta heading out there like a man possessed!!!

definitely cubs or no play for me. i'll probably throw in some cubs/mets parlays as well as some cubs rl/f5 plays.

Arrieta could allow 5 in the first. Small zone, bad luck, terrible bullpen, errors, so many things can happen. This is baseball. +220 for the cards you must take. It was the same when price was -200 in game one for the jays. You cant bet that.

There's no value in St Louis vs Arrieta. Only way they win is if Wacha pitches a shutout and he's awful vs Cubs. This line is begging for Cardinals plays...
Arrieta shines again, if you can't lay -250 stay away.

I wouldn't do it. This happens so much when you think it looks so obvious.

I get it man I really do and if it was someone like lackey I'd be right there with ya, but wacha has been awful and metheny is gonna have him on a short leash. So you're essentially betting on that the cardinals get a bunch of runs off arrieta and not that wacha shuts them down. That's why the line is where it is. Lackey might be able to keep it close enough and win 2-1 but no way does wacha only give up 1 or 2

No value??!!!!

Have you watched the cubs play stl. Arrieta wont pitch the whole game and the cubs may or may not be cursed.

When was the last time any team had a good day against Arrieta?

How can you say no value? There's clearly value in the cards. There the only team who won 100 games. There no joke
