I think I got too much action already to be needing to stress on him and Cubs. Guess I’ll dive in and take a look anyhow.

Bump. Set. Shuma!
So you can bet on pro games with Illinois teams, just not college?

I’ve long since stopped trying to worry about the laws and rules in this country that make no damn sense! Lol.
like seriously are college kids more likely to fix a game cause they can bet on them in their state?!?? Surely if someone organizing a fix they can figure out how to get down somewhere else! The temptation just too great if they can go to local casino??? Lol.
obviously pro’s make way too much money to worry bout game fixing or point shaving. That part is reasonable. The rest not!!

I haven’t seen Lucchesi pitch in forever, don’t even remember what it looks like?? I see he pretty much only throwing 2 pitches (sinker/change), and I see for all scrubbies struggles at the plate they have actually hit lefties pretty well this year.
Cubs pen been way better than the muts, racking up 92 k’s in 71 innings, they do have a bunch of walks to go with those which accounts for their crappy whip. They have pitched way more innings, obviously playing a handful more games accounts for some of that but not all, Cubs been having to go to the pen the 7th most in the league. Both teams prob be in the pen before real long here.
I’d love to say i like the over but no chance I’m playing that! I do think Cubs the right side but that would give me a lot more plays than I anticipated making.

Lucchesi has always been a high K% guy with a good curveball, but rarely goes deep in games and the k's started to fall so he had real trouble staying in games past the 4th inning. Never had a good time in COL and of course his first start with NYM was there
Williams on the other hand pitches to contact and that's just not how to win baseball games in 2021 so i'm not sure i can play it. Kimbrel will fall apart eventually, is Ross a good manager? They have winners in that lineup, but the stats are bad and have been bad

it looks like he not even throwing a curve anymore? Unless I misread on fangraphs it showed him only throwing sinker/change this year. I thought I remembered he threw a curve w pads also.

Fish under was Ff and game. They actually allow rl/total parlays at draftkings casino so I played a fish+1.5/under parlay. Just realized they allowed these as I never been allowed to bet them in my life, gonna see if I can take adv even tho it means playing some full game unders which I never do anymore.

Well luckily Cubs and the last 2 Ff unders came thru, looked like it was gonna be a rough night for a minute, lol. Instead just blah. If fish could muster up 2 runs somehow that would turn it into decent night but doesn’t seem very likely as they look totally asleep. My only hope was Duval running into one after Aguilar got on in 7th but he hit into a dp. I suppose fish should got top of order up in 9th so guess there still a tiny chance, not gonna hold my breath tho.
Weathers has been as advertised by GW, he has totally shut down the Dodgers lineup! So far out dueling Farris Buehler but I’m sure his night bout over, we see if pads pen can hold the 1-0 lead?!?
