Vegas got a ton of people willing to lay -260.

This will be interesting

Not sure where i stand but if the total is what i think it will be i will be on that instead.

Yeah, I know arrieta is one of the best pitcher today BUT against the best team on basebal with 100 wins, best on run prevention, LOST on game 2 just beacause of errors, AND with the a great value tomorrow im picking on them.

BOL by the way

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



Thats it we never now, the value is just great and vegas knows arrieta will be pound y the public tomorrow.

I watched the game when stl had no center fielder and they still beat the cubs. The guy had to toss the ball to the other fielder to throw it back in.

We will see tommorro.

Good luck to all. Just don't lay -270.

Cubs are 8-11 against the cards. Not a horrible record


Arrieta 7 ER's in 4 starts
Wacha 16 ER's in 4 starts

Don't bet on arrieta not going the whole game, they have to win and they won't take him out unless he gets shelled.

I'd eyeball a value play on lackey/arrieta game 5 in Stl. As if it goes 5 I can't see the Cubs not pitching him on short rest.

You are damn right I am. It's not about value anymore. It's about destiny.

Cubs run line is the best play for value.

Wacha has an era of nearly 9 over his last 7 starts. I have no idea what happened to the guy, but he has clearly lost something over the past 5 weeks.

I'm actually a little surprised that SL is going with Wacha for this game. While it seems like everyone but Lackey is struggling, Wacha has been the worst of all.

I just can't back Wacha despite the lure of the high price.

^ yea I think the cards are in trouble they needed to win the first two. Asking for wins from wacha and Lynn on the road is rough. Cubs got exactly what they wanted by splitting when they decided arrests would start game 3.

Manager edge going to Maddon on this one.

Lol Cardinal die Garda. Tomorrownuncan wish in one hand a poo in the other and see which comes out first. On Arrieta losing. Lester has never lost back 2 back playoff games so the 0.01% u have tomorrow is even worse when your down 2-1. Cubs win this series no need to go back down to STL where u goto the game to drink over baseball

I'll take wacha at that number first 5 innings . Cubs strike out a lot . Wacha could get hit or he could be lights out . I remember when Cubs were laying similar numbers with Lester lol . ArrietA is a beast but I'll take my chances on over 2x return

I don't see any value betting against the hottest pitcher in the game right now. 

Wacha hasn't been that great lately and has sucked against the Cubs. To me it's a no play because of the line but no way I'm putting money against Arrieta right now, baseball is a game of streaks and right now Arrieta is the hottest pitcher.

"Wacha hasn't been that great lately"

Anyone considering SL should obviously know that Wacha is the coldest pitcher getting a start in the playoffs. His 8.58 era over his past month plus of the season should be an indication that the guy is DEAD MONEY. I don't like the price either, but this pitching matchup is like taking your 3 legged barnyard horse vs. American Pharoah. Your 3 legged horse is 10,000-1.....how can I pass up on that price you say...."American Pharoah might break his leg".

Go ahead and take Wacha. I will find a better use for my gambling dollar.

I'm playing $2 Cubs -1.5 runs even and $2 Cubs -2.5 +170.  I like a 6-1 final.

I am never a fan of laying over -200, so I think a conservative approach is prudent here.

Parlay the Cubs with Harvey and the Mets. It pays +140 and will pay off much more often than a flier on Wacha.

This is right.

Staying away from this game. Either Cardinals will be blow out and gets shut down or they will win 1 run.
