Once again, the Cubs went down in flames at -165. They are now 9-17 for -21.4 units as -160 or higher now.
This hasn't stopped LV from making the Cubbies -160 today. On paper, they have the edge in starting pitching but they also did last night. Sosa is in a slump and pressing to get 500, McGriff will sit while Choi plays 1B, and Choi has looked overmatched at the plate. Toss in Patterson, Hundley and Hill as automatic outs with a slumping Sosa, benched McGriff, an injured Alou and you wonder how the Cubs will score.
