    I agree. But.... I have a feeling Cleveland wins it at Home.

        The Cubs are pressing at the plate, they need to relax. That's VERY hard for a young team to do down 3-1. They've also shown how fast they can respond to the slightest spark. That's what they need desperately tomorrow night.

          The only thing that scares me is Lester's horrible move to 1st base. And his horrible fielding. Hard to lay -210 on that junk. But they have to win at least 1? Right?

            Gotta go with Indians tommorrow. Like the underdog odds. They are getting the hits. Plus I am from Cleveland area. That's all everyone does is talk about them.

              Thing is they would rather celebrate in Cleveland with the fans

                The cubs should win the next game if we're going by the law of averages

                  Your right JJ, but hoping your wrong, even though the pressure is on the Indians to win it tonight.

                    This is almost the same scenario as last year whereas people looked 2 games ahead to Thor thinking Harvey couldn't drop both starts in the series. you have to pitch arrieta next game here. He gives you your best chance to win and if by chance you get to a game 7 you can burn all of these guys out if you want. Maddon has sat around drinking hot chocolate while Tito has coached circles around him

                      no, they need Arietta for game 6. The goal is to force a game 7 now.

                        Yes, would definitely be great, but will take any win. Do not want to give the Cubs any chance for a comeback.

                          That doesn't make one bit of sense...I just said you can't look ahead they need Jake now or there won't be a game 6

                            Cutter is right. Need to have your best pitcher on mound. Must win game! No game 6 otherwise.

                                If your opponent has already won 3 games all remaining games are must win...

                                  That would be nice, but they can win and be greeted by a LARGE VILLAGE at the airport later, and that would be fine, too.

                                  I am from Akron, and have waited thirty-six years for this shit. We are thirsty.

                                    As a cards fan I'm biased as hell against the cubs but at +200 gimme the Indians tonight!

                                    Lester is better than Jake IMO but I can't pass up that price.

                                          Hey Money. I learned a long time ago that when a team " must win " it usually does not end well. Back in 07 or 08 in the NHL Carolina was home to Tampa and needed to win or tie to get in the playoffs. Back then Tampa was not a good team. Carolina was a -230 or so and got smoked 5-1. Not rooting against you, but I'll take the Tribe for a small play.

                                            Why would Cleveland want to win the Championship in Chicago??? Not going to happen.

                                            Laying probably around 1k on the Cubs. Game 5.
                                            TMS, why wouldn't they want to win it in Chicago?

                                            no more drunk posting for you as this makes ZERO sense

                                                    It would be horrible for baseball if this series ended in 5. Gotta get it back to Cleveland. Plus, Cubs have every matchup advantage tonight. But it's hard to find value in that line, that's for sure.

                                                      It's over. Cubs are no longer medium rare, well done now and about to be charred

                                                        No conspiracy theory here, but everything points to a Cubs win.

                                                        Boatload of $$$$ on the line. Lester been here before. All he would need is just a tiny bit of help from the ump.

                                                        Bet Cleve last two games. To me, game is unbettable. Rooting for the Tribe though. Theo is a douche.
