Cubs Reaching For Their Brooms

Sunday June 22, 2008
The Chicago Cubs will look to complete the sweep of their cross-town rival tonight, as they send Ryan Dempster to the mound against hard-throwing Javier Vasquez and the Chicago White Sox. The Cubs are an impressive 31-8 at home this year, but that hasn't stopped the majority of bets from coming in on the White Sox, as 53-percent of the wagers on the game have been for the underdogs.

The most popular wagers today have been San Francisco, Atlanta, and Detroit, each hovering around the 75-percent ratio. The Yankees, Boston, and Tampa are all favored by -200 or more and have seen the most line movement on the day.

Today's baseball play is up and at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
