[Shame About Ray]

The (28-17) and NL Central leading Chicago Cubs evened up its road record at (9-9) in last nights MLB online betting affair with a 7-2 victory against the (25-21) Houston Astros. Cubs catcher Geovany Soto got the fireworks started with a three-run inside the park home run in the fourth, and the bullpen allowed Ted Lilly to pick up his fifth win of the season by keeping Houston scoreless for almost four innings. CF Jimmy Edmonds also made his first spectacular catch while sporting Cubbie blue showing his old legs might just have a few more miles in them after all. The Cubs have proven to be an excellent sports wager of late securing their MLB bettors winning tickets in nine of their last 11 overall contests. On a night Berkman lost his season-high 17-game hitting streak, and Hunter Pence lost his 16-game hitting streak, the Cubs had the edge in the stands and on the field while opening a three-game sports betting series before a crowd of 32,458. "Tonight it seemed like there were more Cubs fans than Astros fans," Cooper said. "That was a little disappointing. All I heard was, 'Go, Cubbies! Go, Cubbies!' With Monday night’s win, the Cubs are 3-1 against the Astros this season.
