Monday Baseball Chicago +124 at Pittsburgh

CHICAGO +124 (GUZMAN) VS. PITTSBURGH (SNELL) 7:05 ET

The Cubbies lost a heartbreaker late Sunday night in St. Louis, and now have to come back tonight to face the Buccos at PNC. The sweep at the hands of the hated Cardinals won't sit well with the Cubs, and they're lucky they get the opportunity to get right back on the field just 24 hours later to rinse the bad taste out of their mouths. Pathetically, the Pirates are only four games away from the underachieving Cubs this year, and you can bet Dusty Baker will be pulling out all the stops in this 3-game set to avoid letting the Buccos overtake him. A last place finish with the Cubs current payroll will all but make Dusties departure a certainty. The Cubbies have handled Ian Snell well in the only two times they've seen him this year. They beat him up in early August most recently attaining 8 hits and 5 ER's in just 6 innings of work. Angel Guzman is coming off his best start as a Cub going 6 innings vs. Philly and only surrendering 1 earned run while striking out 8 and walking 3. He was a hot Cub prospect that's yet to live up top his billing. Maybe he's turned the corner, and will put forth a solid slate of starts to close out the year. Either way, look for a salty Cubs squad to hit PNC for this set as they look to put some distance between them and the last place Buccos.

Man Tommy, I do this shit everytime I try and cut back on my bets!!!

Pitt is up 5-1 in the bottom of the 4th and have the bases loaded with no one out. I'll keep pulling for the Cubs but, it does not look real good right now!!!

To tell you the truth I did look at them at a time today as my best BET, I really screwed up they were -1.5 and +170 if my memory is right. I went with Oakland, because, they were like 8/1 at HOME this month and 12-4 in their last 16 games overall.

Bad news 8-1 now 2 on and 1 out bottom 4th. I won't update anymore unless it is something positive and warrants a post.
