“To me, baseball is better with tradition. Baseball is better with history. Baseball is better with fans who care. Baseball is better in ballparks like this... And baseball is best of all when you win.”
- Theo Epstein.
1. Milwaukee Brewers (+100) @ Chicago Cubs (O/U 6.5)
Our model is showing a nice edge on the Cubs in this matchup projecting a fair ML closer to -140. Moreover, this is a great spot to back ‘em as well- an elimination game at Wrigley with Jameson Taillon on the bump, who has been nothing short of spectacular since his return in mid-August sporting an ERA of approximately 1.50. Look for the Cubs to bounce back in this spot behind their rock-solid starter and force a Game Four.
Selection: Cubs ML (-120) to Win 2 units.
“In bocca al lupo.”
