5) my "kick in the nutz" pick for the day.
well, it begs to differ that RANDY has WON with his back against the wall everytime for ARIZONA this year...and i've won with him pretty much everytime...Randy is 9-0 against the Cubbies, but Arizona has had problems hitting at home lately...Arizona has won 7 in a row...and for some reason..the cubbies hit lefties well on the road better than righties....?
Bere is pitching and he can be enough against randy...but what i'm looking at here is that all the stats point to randy...but that's not good enough with the arizona offense being as shitty as it is at home.
last time Cubs played randy, they lost 3-2.
I look for Bere to bounce back as well as the CUBS against randy and the 7 games win streak is OVER. Randy has an incentive to win this game, but his back is NOT against a wall this time because arizona has won 7 in a row. Not like I'm saying randy will purposely throw a bad game. It's just that the Cubs have more incentive to win this game and let's face it, 8-9-10 game win streaks are a tough in this day and age in MLB.
Hopefully one streak will end today:
taking CUBBIES, but just in case Randy bites me in the ass when this is the first time i've bet against him, i'll gladly take the extra run +1.5 (+115) (cause i've burned by the one run losing underdog before..)
