CUBS/MARLINS Over 8.5 +100 ? This total seems to be based more on these pitchers? reputations than on their performance on the field so far! Wood has been especially horrible in his last 6 starts, posting an ERA of 7.00 with a high WHIP of 1.61 over those starts, with the Over going 5-1. He does not have the command that he had in past seasons, as he has an alarming 22 walks in his last 36 innings of work. Dempster appeared to have turned the corner, but he regressed a bit in his last start in Toronto, allowing 4 earned runs and 10 Men on Base in a 4-0 loss. He has been rather hittable at home this year, as he has a home ERA of 4.34 while allowing an opponents batting average of .271. The Over is now 11-5 in all of Dempster?s starts and 5-2 in all of his home starts.
