Who's hotter than the Cubs right now...???well the D'backs are close. They have to be juiced after the big win in H'town and they finished around the same time the cubs did. It's about a 3 hour flight I believe, so they have time to chill tonight and they have thier Ace going tomorrow. This looks like a good price/ risk to take the Diamondbacks. Any thoughts?

Mark Prior really showed signs of life in his last start. His control was not as good as it can be, but his stuff in general was pretty decent. I think he went 5.2 not giving up a hit. With that said, the D-backs are a hot team as well right now and with their ace they should be tough. I have been betting against the Cubs lately and it has cost me. I will be laying off this game, as I think Prior picks up his first Win of the season, and the Cubs make it 5 in a row. If anything I would take the Cubs (+1). Just a thought. Go Cubbys..:thumbsup2:

I think it looks decent, but if you're getting -130 you need a new out.

got BetJ Johnny...maybe im paying a few extra cents, but with the fast payouts and never, and i mean NEVER, worrying about my money being unsafe, ill take the higher juice...how much better of a line could I get for the Angels -130...maybe you mixed it up wit the CUbs, I got CUBS +110 and Angels -130...where do u see a "much better" line...i mean if its 20 cents or more different then il agree that I got a bad line, but if its -120 or -125, ill pay the extra nickel or 10 cents knowing that I am playing with arguabley the most complete book ive ever played with...Scotty the manager always makes things pleasent for me, and because of that I stay loyal to them..plus a Bonus Bet after every 100 wagers (for the average size of those wagers) makes up for any extra cents i spend here and their

Ummmmmmm, I was talking to the OP who said he was considering Arizona -130 when it's -119 on Pinny at the moment, never mentioned you or the Angels, not sure where you got that....?

Anyhow, the Angels are -126 at Pinny and I trust Pinny with my money as much as my bank.

BOL though.

yes your right Pinny is JUST as solid...i have used them before, but their not very recreational-bettor friendly...no bonuses, no fees covered unless you deposit $1k, no free payouts...great site, GREATTT lines, but to each his own when it comes to a book who fits his needs the best...like u said, the line is at -126 now so basically a 4 dollar difference in my wager amount, not a big deal, might be up to -130 at pinny too, maybe my book jus got an earlier line move...anyway, gl to u anyway...do u like the cubs or the angels johnny, im looking for insite from all of you and if you find anything that i might not have covered or thought of...any angles, insights, injuries etc...whats your opinion

Webb is pretty good but if you can get the Cubs at +plus $ right now they look like a pretty solid play. Take the Cubs there hot and hotter than the Summer in Chicago.

The Cubs will go down tonight!!!

Mark Prior cannot get these Diamondback hitters out with his average "stuff." He needs a few more starts and a boost of confidence before he will show signs of his early career. He has a 4.02 ERA this month and was 0-3 last month.And we all know about the bullpen for Chicago, and the performances Webb has displayed this year. (Possible Cy Young winner?)


The pick to win on tonight is the Clev/Bos game

Take Clev to win.......they will be pissed from last nights last inning loss and Wells couldn't get himself out right now

Wells just got an out. He came out of the closet. I'm not shocked.

How can you say that about the Cubs? They are so hot right now, and Mark Prior is damn near back to pitching like himself. I am not saying the Cubs will win for sure tonight, but the safe play here is the Cubs (+1). And by the way, Webb will not win the Cy-Young over Zambrano.

HUGE letdown for the Cubbies off their sweep of STL, count on it. They'll go 3-7 in their next 10

I think it was just that Cards are the Cubs BITCH. The Cubs still arent very good, they just own the Cards. I like Webb, but I was saying the same thing going into that Philly game last week.

Cubs play their hearts out against STL but are lifeless zombies against about any other team in the league for some reason (of course, it couldn't be Dusty "the toothpick", he's a master motivator, you know)

As an STL fan, I wish Dusty would get a HUGE contract extension. I can tolerate the Cubbies beating STL like a drum if it means they'll still be a sad sack against the rest of the league

kind of like Iowa State football against the Hawkeyes.... Play their hearts out against them and usually win, and then miss 19 yard field goals that would win a conference championship..

Cubs usually have a major letdown once they are done playing the Cards...

However, Prior's last start showed that he is starting to get his mechanics worked out...and I think the club will avoid the letdown...

I look for him to build upon that start in NY...have solid command of his pitches... and win his 1st game tonight.
