JB's Cubs/Brewers Discussion:

[JBEB]

Been out of town all weekend and have not laid a 1 bet... My Cardinals are kickin ass....so I have one question....

Isn't this kind of like a CARDS/CUBS game from a few years ago? With Dempster going against Suppan, even in 2006 when that Cards won the World Series...the Cubbies owned Suppan and the Cards for that matter...

[RetroVK]

looks like the under is the best bet on the board but nothing i want to put a unit on. Dempster really been pitching well.

 

[E.T.G.]

game tears me in half, i feel like i can come out of this argument with legit cases for each side and each total so i will just be on the sidelines watching some baseball. gl to any1 who plays it

betcrimes sunday night stats . .. anyways cut and pasted here for the lazy......

Chicago @ Milwaukee - 4/12/09

The Brewers have not played in an ESPN Sunday nighter since 2005


Cubs ESPN Sun Niters record since 05

W/L .... 2-6
RL ...... 2-6
O/U .... 2-5-1*

* The Cubs have a clear bias for producing Overs vs Saint Louis and Unders vs any other team since 05 in this Sunday night spot.


No meetings since 05

i like the cubs. don't expect the RH bats from the Crew to do much w/ Demp.

 

[RetroVK]

ahhh .. i think i misintepreted BC stats there .. think he just has it separated into cards and everyone else because of frequency of cubs/cards games on sunday night baseball.

 

[JBEB]

Here is the deal...Dempster has been looking good, but the Brewers will get at least 2 runs with the possibility of 4 or 5 IMO The Cubs will destroy Suppan and will score plenty to win...I can forsee a 10-2 cubbies....or extra innings at about 4's IMO BOL everybody....Cubsker you gotta be stoked DAWG!!!!

 

[reNew Orleans]

i personally like the under but i want a better price to even consider it.

 

[aplous]

No chance for an under play for me w/ Suppan on the hill. Cubs have seen him about 1,000 times in the last few years and they could easily smash him.

Also if I recall, Dump was much more hittable on the road last year than at Wrigley......

 

[JBEB]

rite on aplous

 

[Coolslaw1]

1-0 cubs 1st

 

[JBEB]

Suppan walks in a run..I'll be damned

 

[JBEB]

and then some dayum

 

[aplous]

Supp is garbage unless it is playoff time or down the stretch.....if he's not hitting his spots he is MEAT.

 

[JBEB]

Man , he had a rough one tonight

 

[cubsker]

small strike zone tonight, esp. to LH hitters. This kills guys like Suppan who can't get you out in the actual strike zone.
