Play: Total Over 8.0 (-125) Z Davies (RHP), W Buehler (RHP) Must Start

Oy Vey….hurry guys…this happened so fast…as I was typing up my package and then my write up for this play at 8 basically regular vig…I refreshed the site and nearly EVERYWHERE had gone to 8.5.  I would still play it at 8.5 and still close to the 4 unit value….but this is why we never wait when the line might move in the direction we're looking.

Davies, Buehler, fade….lots of techno babble and most of it still applies even though that write up went by the wayside…

The Dodgers outside the division in the first game after a divisional loss have totaled 12, 9, 8, and 13 since 2020.

Buehler is prone to allowing the long ball…Davies is right ATOP my constant fade list and the Dodgers (despite the sweep) are still slashing 7/.344/144 against RHP at Chavez Ravine the past 2 weeks….oh and Mookie got a nice day off Wednesday and should be back and rested and ready to turn around his recent mini slump!

The Cubs, despite striking out WAY too much recently against RHP…have still hit decently…and Buehler's BABIP and LOB rate with a majorly diminished K rate are ripe for the plucking in the regression to the mean machine!

I think 9 is the right number for this, but also because I'm bullish on the Cubs to keep it close with scoring….although Davies can potentially implode against such a lineup…let's just go for a nice 4-4 game early and keep watching the NBA WCF!
