There have been many bad days/nites in MLB this season for the ole hound but yesterday he knocked 'the mans' dick in the dirt going 16-4-0 +30.86...and it sure felt gooooood. ytd now @ -21.63 now with just a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel for getting back on the Plus side before the end.

952 Chicago Cubs* -171 vs St. Louis Cardinals x3 ....
the Cubs have a big advantage of being able to sleep in their own beds after such a short turnaround. Card had to put Adams on the disabled list entering this series and then lost Holliday to a broken hand when he was hit by a pitch in the 10th. Diaz is also still out, so the Cubs are definitely facing a depleted rival , but -171 price sure is steep, even with Arrieta (13-5, 2.59) on the mound.Wainwright (9-6, 4.34), has already pitched in two wins against the Cubs this season, so the Cardinals (+165) may be enticing despite their wounded state for some value better but not me. Cubbies closer Chapman has pitched the last two nights and hasn’t pitched in three straight since June 4-6, the only time the Yankees did that with him this season. Key setup man Strop also went on the DL Thursday after suffering a knee injury, so Maddon may have to be creative with his bullpen if Arrieta can’t duplicate his last effort, where he worked eight shutout innings at Oakland. Wainwright comes off one of his worst performances of the season, losing 6-3 to Atlanta.
