I am leaning towards the under, but i could use some help

Cubs/Cards Total
- Thread starter wareagle
- Start date
At 9.5 you have to go under. 9 is as close to a key number as there is in baseball totals. Besides, the Cubs cannot hit. Just pitch around Sammy every time and let McGriff and Alou beat you. Cruz may be 0-6 but his ERA is around 3.00 so he's pitched well enough to win. The Cards bullpen got a needed rest yesterday.
cubs lost 5 straight
cubs 1-8 in cruz's last 9 starts
cards 4-1 last 5
cards 3-0 in stephenson's last 3 starts vs cubs
the home team is 6-3 when wally bell is behind hp

but the cardinals bullpen got some good rest last night so wouldn't you assume that even if stephenson only went 4-5 innings that their BP could do the job?

They may even need one more day rest, at least their middle or long relievers. Their BP pitched 8 innings on Sunday. The layoff angle is another from Lee's book. I tracked it on another site last season and it had very positive results.
