Reasoning: When investing on baseball it\u2019s not always about thinking you have\u00a0the lock of all locks\u00a0and will win all the time. To get a value is the name of the game and this is a value as the Diamondbacks are a 75-win team max and not worthy of laying a decent price like this. One doesn\u2019t even need to go .500 on the diamond in order to make a lot of profit and that is the case here. This one play may lose but if this game played out 1,000 times taking the price back would be a definite winner as Arizona would find a way, as they do a lot of the time, to fail in the end. Certainly the Cubs would wet the bed their share of times as well but they\u2019re not the big-time pup that would need to win the majority of the time.<\/p>\n

Is Casey Coleman good? No he\u2019s really not and I do admit that Daniel Hudson has a fairly high ceiling as we saw last season\u00a0making him\u00a0superior to Coleman. But this current version of the\u00a0Diamondbacks is just not good and certainly not worthy of laying a chunk of change. I like Young and Upton but like I already said, Arizona is a 75\u00a0or so win team\u00a0and even if the Cubs are going to once again fail to win\u00a0the World Series they still have enough to win in the desert.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t love Mike Quade\u2019s squad and will fade them every chance I get when they are laying too much. But in this underdog\u00a0spot to get Soriano, Ramirez, Fukudome and the at least somewhat capable Cubbies plus this much is a semi must play.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Chicago Cubs from Matt Rivers<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>A winning Saturday as the 400,000* on the Indians came through in extras. Things have been great for awhile and no mini skid will ever keep me down. I\u2019m ready to rock and roll once again today and close out yet another winning weekend and improve upon the gaudy numbers you see above.<\/p>\n

400,000* Boston-Miami along with a 200,000* on the diamond involving the Blue Jays and Yankees. I\u2019m about to continue burying that Crookie. Are you? Click now to purchase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
