Lookin for revenge today boys. Lets roll the dice and play a little monopoly as Gordon Gecko said.
1. Cubs @ St. Louis
Taking Cards at the excellent price of -130
I think the price is a bargain right now and Wood is being over-rated. Lookin at entire team this price is good on the Cards.
Cubs have the worst battin % in the majors
