Chi. Cubs (85-77) at Arizona (90-72)
Wednesday, October 3, 2007 10:00 PM ET
Over/Under – Under 7.5
Bet it now at Sportsbook.com


The National League Divisional Series gets underway tonight with the Arizona Diamondbacks hosting the Chicago Cubs, at Chase Field. Both teams are bringing their best ace pitchers to the mound tonight. The Arizona Diamondbacks will start pitcher Brandon Webb (RP) (18-10, 3.01 ERA). Webb is the D-Backs best starting hurler and is the reigning CY Young Award winner who pitched 42 scoreless innings earlier in the season. He’s gone 10-2 since the All-Star break. His regular season home record is 8-5 with a 2.88 ERA and is 2-0 in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 3.26. Arizona is currently 5-5 in their last 10 games going into the playoffs. The D-Backs bring a team with a superb starter and players with speed.

The Chicago Cubs will start pitcher Carlos Zambrano (RP) (18-13, 3.95 ERA). Zambrano’s regular season road record is 12-4 with an ERA of 3.06 and is currently 2-1 in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 1.96. The Diamondbacks may be in for a surprise as they’ve never hit against Zambrano all season. The Cubs are currently 6-4 in their last 10 games, heading into the playoffs. The Cubbies bring in a team with excellent hitting, power and defense backed up with a great bullpen.

Recent Trends
Under is 10-1-1 in Zambrano's last 12 road starts.
Under is 8-1-1 in Zambrano's last 10 road starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
Under is 5-1-1 in Zambrano's last 7 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Under is 5-1 in Diamondbacks last 6 Divisional Playoff home games.
Under is 4-1 in Diamondbacks last 5 overall.
Under is 9-1-1 in Webb's last 11 home starts.

Bottom Line: Tonight’s game is going to be a pitchers duo which is going to showcase two of the best pitchers in baseball. Zambrano needs to keep his emotions in check and not get to excited, just pitch your game. He’s hasn’t allowed a run in his last two starts. Webb’s going to be relaxed playing at home and he’ll do what comes naturally.

To close to pick a winner so I’m suggesting UNDER 7.5.

Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Sunday October 7, 2007 8:15 PM EST
Packers -3 (-135)
Bet this fight at SBG Global


I'm glad for Brett Farve who did not listen to the many individuals who thought he was washed up. The Packers are 4 and 0 to start off this NFL football season and will go 5 and 0 after this Sunday after the y beat the Bears. The Bears are not the team most people thought they were. Everyone knew they did not have a great offenses but most people thought they had a great defense. Well they don't. This year they lost Tank "Guns" Johnson and their defense ranks 15th in the league. Coupled with an offense that can't score, the Packers and their fans will have a field day with them. The Bears only offense is special teams and Devon Nestor

Brett Farve looks like he is 25 again and is reading defenses and making plays. At Lambeau Field the Bears are the most hated team in the league the resurgence of the Packers has put them on the NFL map. Many of the book still are not giving the Packers their due and a 3 point spread it a good spread on a team many odds makers are still doubtful about.

Bottom Line: Green Bay is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games and Green Bay is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games. The Packers are 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home and 19-6 SU in its last 25 games when playing Chicago.

Go for the Trifecta, take the Packers on the Spread, Money line and take the Under
