Not saying this will go under, but Chacin had 13Ks in 14.2IP vs the Cubs and the rest of his outs were mainly groundouts (3.25 and 1.2 G/F ratio). Same with Garza in his 2011 starts vs COL: 12Ks in 12IP and a 4.5 and 2.5 G/F ratio...so MAYBE those two won't be that much affected by the winds like other pitchers...
I like the Cubs and the OVER...I see a 7-6 type of game here.
everybody sucking Chacin's dick now...even though last week, public was hammmmmmmmering Rockies/Indians total with him and Talbot pitching. now he's a sure thing?
4 homers in 5 day games this year. I like the Cubs chances to add to that. this total is gonna be decided on how Garza performs. that's is why I can't side with a total...I'm betting the Cubbies.

I watch all of the Rockies games and Chacin's last start vs. the Indians looks like a great start with no decision. Telling factor might be the six walks he gave up as he had a major control breakdown. In one inning he walked the bases loaded. He has terrific stuff but the last start might be a signal that he could struggle in a windy environment like Wrigley.
Just my two cents worth.

A few years ago I read a spiel that said over the last 20yrs Wrigley Field is only good for a 1/2 run more a game over the ML average with the wind blowing out (that is of course with the wind blowing out in the other parks).
Assuming that many think it's a much higher discrepancy (and thus inflated totals) I began making small under plays on any 10+ line at Wrigley.
And although I lost exact track (did it near then end of the year and forgot about it, honestly), I know I nailed 13 of the first 17.
This is a one-off make up game too, so the chances are decent that they'll try to get it in.
Taking 11 today, actually.
