Chicago Cubs (Mike Montgomery (L)) @ Cincinnati Reds (Scott Feldman (R)
Reds past failures against lefties will sway those bettors to play the Cubs. Lets see if the mojo system is right or wrong.
Some handicappers mind too much attention to lefty vs rightie match-ups. This narrow-minded thinking can save the ~capper from making a bad bet but sometimes deprive them from a profitable bet. Some recent game(s) come to mind. Mets against soft leftie Jeff Locke?
The public are in love with the Cubs today and the line moves in an awkward fashion. What we like to call "reverse line movement".
Over 70% tickets on the Cubs and the Reds line move from +113 to -105.
Montgomery is a decent pitcher but he is unlucky in terms of run support; He deserves a better record. Scott Feldman got tagged for 7 runs and left early in Wrigley.
"Too many pitches, bad command tonight, so I've got some stuff to work on and iron it out for next times," Feldman said. "You've got able to hit your spots and make pitches and just didn't do that today.
Feldman's recent form indicates he's ready to redeem himself.
