CUBS-MILW

[tedy]

Tapani (8-10, 3.79 ERA) has not recorded a win since June 2 and is 0-10 with a 5.11 ERA in 12 starts since. He has endured his losing streak despite allowing three earned runs or less in each of his last nine outings.

Interesting information. Looks to me like he is due . . . especially if Sosa and the crime dog can get with the program today.

and more...
The Cubs have lost eight of 11 to fall three games behind first-place Houston in the National League Central. Milwaukee has won six of its last seven, but is a distant 17 1/2 games behind the Astros.
So MILW are kind of ''HOT'' now while Cubs are really ''COL''...
And laying -178,57 on CUBS seems to be to NUTS.
I'M ON MILWAUKEE +150 saw some bookies offer +165 on this...
AND UNDER 9,5...

This a perfect time to play the cubs. Tapani is a very good home pitcher. He knows the park and doesn't let wrigley hurt him. Mac Suzuki depends alot on a fastball to set up his other pitches. I am going with the cubs today and the (They are due Factor as NCU said) This will be a blowout for the cubs. I made my prediction on the score I said 9-2 cubbies.

Even though you numbers are correct on Tapani since his last win, you have to realize he had a really bad start at Ariz after that. Take that Start away and his number look like this. 61.2 IP w/ 2.79 era. He will win today!!!
