Hey folks,

I was cruising the weather for today's MLB matchups and saw the wind at Wrigley Field is blowing directly at home plate.

Books are always cautious with the Cubs' home totals but this breeze, which is blowing NNE at 13 mph, has me thinking under for this afternoon's game against the Rockies.

This could keep a lot of balls in play and hinder two teams relying on the big fly early in the season. The Rox have knocked 12 out of the park while the Cubs have 11 dingers through seven games.

There is also a nice showdown on the mound with Jason Marquis making his return to ChiTown to face Rich Harden and the Cubbies. Both arms looked good in their season debuts.

Oddsmakers have set Chicago as a -219 favorite while Colorado is priced around +201. The total has yet to be released as of Wednesday morning.

Good luck to all!
