I hate the cubs! I am a pirate fan. We all know that Hamels has not been good. Darvish should be at least a pick, he is the better pitcher. Yet Cubs are favored by -118. I know why, it is Vegas knowing that Darvish is scheduled to throw 80 pitches which puts him in the 5th or 6th inning at best. Texas bullpen is horrible. Texas and cubs have been playing bad, BUT Texas just got shutout yesterday by Cub's worst starter. Even if Texas has a two run lead in the 5th, I like the cubs chances with Rangers ballooned 5.24 ERA bullpen numbers. I will follow the big money being bet on the Cubs today and thinking Vegas has the line right!
Cubs -118 50 units
