CUBS/REDS Over 9 +100 - While I know it?s difficult to play an Over with Prior pitching, I just can?t resist playing over a posted total of 9 in this ballpark. After all, the Over is still 25-14 in this stadium, and more importantly, the games here have averaged a combined total of 10.70 runs per game. One of Prior?s worst outings of the season came vs. these Reds, as he allowed 5 runs and 7 Men on Base in 6 innings at Wrigley Field back in April. Wrigley has become more of a pitcher?s park this year, so that does not bode well for Prior in this ballpark. Wilson has actually strung together 3 nice outings, but he has been inconsistent in the past, especially since his arm surgery a few years ago, so I would not be surprised to see a regression today. This is especially true vs. a Cubs team that tagged him for 6 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in just 3.1 innings the last time he faced them.
