Las Vegas - Been following Cade Horton of the Cubs and betting him since the middle of July. He got the win in his last outing against the Rockies, but did not look good. Maybe it was the Mile High air in Denver, but Horton allowed six hits and two earned runs. Why is that lousy? Well, here's what Cade has done since July 20. Allowed zero earned runs to the Red Sox, zero to the White Sox, zero to the Orioles, zero to the Reds, one to the Blue Jays, one to the Brewers, then zero to the Angels. So, his ERA since that start on July 20 is 0.88. Yea, ZERO POINT EIGHT EIGHT! Chicago has won three of the last four (not including last night) and owns a gorgeous 42-25 record at Wrigley. Bank of Benj is open for business in Chicago.
