Schule's MLB PRIMETIME PUNISHER ~ +$9,571 L100 MLB
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. NY Mets, 10/17/2015 4:07 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Total: 6.50 | -127.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on CHC@NYM to go OVER the total.

The Cubs were shutout in Game 1 of the NLDS in St. Louis, but then their bats came alive powering them to three straight wins. All three of those games went over the number, and my money is on the over here in Game 1.

Jon Lester will toe the slab for Chicago, and he was on the wrong side of a 4-0 loss in St. Louis. He gave up three runs on five hits over 7 1/3 innings in the loss. Seven of his 11 wins this season came at home, and his day/night splits show that he posted a losing record (5-7) with a 3.80 ERA in 17 starts under the lights.

The Mets hand the ball to Matt Harvey, who might be on a short leash with an innings limit. He went five innings in Game 3 of the NLDS versus LA, giving up three runs on seven hits and a pair of walks in a 13-7 win. The Mets have gone over the total in seven of Harvey's last eight starts.

The weather forecast is calling for a slight wind blowing out to center field, and that could give hitters a slight edge.

Take OVER.
