Anyone know why the O/U line in Chicago Cubs is so high

Wondering if there is anything special about this duo of pitchers that make the line so high. I have it O 13 (-125), U 13 (+105). it's rare for numbers this high to appear, but when they have, I have been burn badly with the UNDER.

Was thinking on going UNDER again but the (-125) over make me wonder what I am missing. Chicago ranks #16 and Houston #22 out of 30 teams in Runs scored.

Only 2 of Rodriguez games have gone over 13. And Lopez, he has just been traded and call for duty but I don't think that makes it for a "13".

Any Help from the Forum?

Thx.

    I think minger2123 just gave me a clue. It's windy and the ball can fly... ( same reason I have been burned before..)... but is it still UNDER the play?

    I have found that the total normally dictates the play at cubbies games. I wont touch an under if the total is 12-14 there.

    definitely has to with the wind direction and speed. And Lopez has given up a lot of gopher balls in his career.
    If the wind is blowing in or calm, then o/u is normal.

    Houston Astros at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m.
    Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to center field at 15-20 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 85.

    Now 6-6 in the top of the 5th. Hot and wind blowing out. Appreciate your question earlier as it appears an over is in the offing!
