Agree, going to hedge a little taking the Cards -1/2 for the 1st 5 ... both bull pens are a dumpster fire and I believe Waccha will be reasonably solid for the 1st 5.Checking it was Reed vs Braves (Jenkins) back on the 19th (two starts ago, time flies... Reed got canned by the soft-hitting post-All Star break Giants last time out). The opening line was like Reds -135 and then it just skyrocketed to Reds -200+ at game time. Because the question was raised "WTF is Reed doing as a -200 fav?!?!" Reed put up a fight but they, of course, lost in extra and at least pushed the Over if not exceeded.
People are swearing Reed will be something but it doesn't appear to be this season. This is the time of year where the damn Cardinals turn it up a notch and put pressure on (usually it's fully eliminate in other years) my Cubbies.
August 3rd:
Cards/Reds over 9 -110 2.2/2
Cards -140 2.8/2 POD
Giants/Phillies over 7.5 1.1/1
Red Sox -119 1.90/1.6 and -115 1.15/1 POD
Marlins +200 .5/1
Red Sox TT over 4 -130 1.3/1
Double POD day today. The more I dig into this Sox/Mariner match up, the more I think the Sox should win. At -119 and -115, it's too good to pass up.
