It is a good bet IMO. Should the Cubs and Dempster win? Absolutely. Should they be the -300 favs they will be? Not a chance. In baseball there probably isn't a team that should be -300, and going against that team every time will always be a good bet. Would I personally bet that? No, because I'm not a value better. I bet on teams I think will win the game. But yes I would say it is a smart bet to take the Nats, especially tomorrow when people are thinking there is no way the Nats win three in a row, two against the Cubbies.
earl yes that is how bookies win. But you have to pick and choose your spots. If you play heavy favorites every time in the long run, offcourse you will be a loser.
Cubs, with one of the best home records in the league, playing against one of the worst teams in the league, with their good pitcher on the mound (.298 ERA), coming off a loss, I think is a good spot to pound Cubs.
