One scenario I like: when the wind is blowing in at Wrigley so the total is 7 1/2 or less, and the Cubs are in the role of favorite.
Cubs -125
Dodgers + 1 1/2 runs (-200)
With the wind blowing in and the low total, chances are greater it will be a one run game. And with the home team in the favorites role, they may not need a 9th at bat. Have used this scenario successfully in the past. Zambrano is rolling right now, having won something like 9 or 10 straight decisions. The Cubs haven't faced the Dodgers' starter since 2008, and struggled against him them. Hoping for a 2-1 Cubs victory.
