Cubs/Pads o/u 9.5

[Felonious Monk]

Can someone please tell me why the total is jacked up to 9.5? Are the lines makers figuring the bullpens will give up several runs in the late innings? Both pitchers have low ERA's with a combined total of less than 6 runs per game.

Am I missing something?

In other words, I'm looking at taking the under but is this a trap?

Thought the same thing about 9.5, seems at least 1 run too high. About the only reason i can find is that the wind is blowing out at Wrigley today....at least right now it is, who knows where it will be blowing come gametime.

under 4.5 in through 4 innings might be a good bet

wind blowing out to center 10-15mph, but im gonna be a sucker and play the cubs and the under. might also throw the a's in there. i know it's a big price, but i see mulder coming up large today and stop the bleeding.

Wind is only around 7-8 MPH now but it is out to straight center. Perez, however, is a fly ball pitcher. He has more than twice as many fly ball outs as ground ball outs. Zambrano has been good but the Cubs bullpen is capable of sending any game over.

Thanks guys but I think I've figured it out...the STARTERS suck.

4-1 Top of the 2nd.
