Bet Labs' Red Sox vs Cubs Best Bet: System Play Suggests Under
By Bet Labs
Our "Wrigley Field Unders" system focuses exclusively on Cubs home games, where wind direction is a major scoring variable.
When wind blows in or across (in or from sides) and the total opens between 8-13, unders become highly valuable. Wrigley Field is uniquely sensitive to weather due to the field orientation and the fact that it doesn't have a roof. As a result, it's the premier ballpark for wind-based betting edges.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-115)
