A great way to start Handicapping Vegas! Both Mike and I succeeded our first night, and plan to continue the same way we started!
Today we have the Chicago Cubs over the Washington Nationals @ -112 (1.89)
This Chicago Cubs have not done nearly as well as hoped this year (sorry Cubs fans) and Washinton is, well, Washington. Ryan Dempster is on the mound for the Cubs and has been one of the sole bright spots on this roster of let downs. Dempster is 11-8 with a 3.56 ERA and has been consistant of late and last game went a strong 8 innings for the 4th time while Jason Marquis on Washington has only surpassed the 5th inning once this year. Marquis has been struggling with a 0-6 record and a bloated 11.39 ERA. Marquis consistantly loses control of counts and is in a constant uphill battle that he rarely (if ever) recovers from. Chicagos Fukudome (almost sounds like a swear word...) has hit 20 of his last 55 this month and looks to continue his hot streak. Under interim manager Mike Quade, look for the Cubs to impress and sweep the series in an attempt to save their jobs for next season.
