Cubs -106.
Always love fading a pitcher coming off a no hitter...specially one who through 150 pitches. Jackson got rocked in his next start against the Dodgers but it was over shadowed by Kuroda getting rocked as well. I expect the trend to continue for Jackson.
Dempster has been absolutely rock solid just like in his 20 win season but again has been over shadowed by the Cubs horrible play. All that is about to change though. The Cubs are coming into tonights game feeling really good. Winners of 3 of their last 4, all while last night Aramis Ramirez had 2 HR's and 4 RBI and D Lee had a multiple hit game. That is so huge for this teams confidence as they have been waiting for these 2 to break out and it looks like the time is now.
Pair that with Dempsters 3.54 ERA (rock solid 2.17 at night) it all just fits so well for such a low price. :drink:
