good win...I don't mind seeing LaRussa lose...

[onlooker]

Waiting on WS prices...

[EBone]

Houston was certainly the better team in this series without question. Good luck to all Astros fans. Should be a great WS to watch.

Astros over White Sox in 6.

[tacomax]

Houston win with ease and through to the World Series Final.

[jjgold]

2-0 Houston

[onlooker]

I'm seeing a lot of people on them tonight...

+140/145 is good value for Oswalt, I can see why. I passed on the game all together.

Cardinals got lucky...pick Houston!

That luck can break the other teams back. So be careful.

Ganche there is big time pressure on the players to win this game and I am not talking about betting lines.

Not sure I completely know what you mean by this but if you're implying that you believe that Houston's chances of winning Game 7 should it go that far are considerably below 39.774%, then it seems to me then you have a fantastic value play:

Houston to win Game 6
-and-
Cards to win the series

Extreme pressure on Houston in game 6 as the whole world knows Cards win game 7.

Pinnacle is currently showing the following lines:

Game 6:
HOU 144
STL -152

Series:
HOU -190
STL 173

Assuming Pinnacle takes equal vig on both dog and faves and that Houston loses game 6, these lines would imply a 39.774% chance of Houston winning game 7.

Pinnacle is also showing the following line:

Astros Win Series 4-3:
YES 285
NO -325

This, taken with the game 6 odds above, would imply a 42.582% probability of a Houston victory in game 7.

So, if "the whole world knows Cards win game 7", no one seems to have remembered to tell Pinnacle.

[OldeTymePlaya]

Astros will get it done

[bigboydan]

JJ, if the cardnails win game 6 you gotta like there chances in a game 7 IMO

[jjgold]

Cards do have a channce now. If they win game 6 they win the series.

No way Clemens beats them 2x

[pags11]

yeah, shaping up to be a nice series...

[onlooker]

Ok, the cards have a chance. lol. What a clutch hit by pujols in the 9th. With how bad they been hitting, that surprised the hell out of me.

[BuddyBear]

wow...what a game! A lot of exciting games this weekend in NCAAF, NFL, and MLB. This game is the icing on the cake.

It's great to be a sports fan!

[MAB]

Unbeliveable finish. Even though the momentum has shift to the Cardinals, don't count out the Astro's with Oswalt & Clemens.

[Max Levine]

Can you imagine Houston losing the series?

[Illusion]

What a comeback, damn.

[fixxer]

I just have to add one thing:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAALBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a game....what a 9th inning....what a win.....GOOOOOOO CARDS!!!!!!!

[tacomax]

4-2 up in the 9th, 2 out and Lidge blew it.

Although I guess if you're a Cards fan, you couldn't ask for more than Eckstein, Edmonds and Pujols coming up to the plate.

[onlooker]

The Cards have thier backs against the wall, but I wouldn't count them out just yet.

Well if they can come alive today, then I will give them a chance.

[Illusion]

STL bats are dead, and so are their chances.

I like Houstons position right now and all their big guns will pitch again. I think Tony is a very bad manager and should be fired if he loses this series.

[pags11]

yeah JJ...he's really taken care of his arm and body...what an athlete...

[jjgold]

Roger is incredible and I cannot believe we are still talking about him in baseball.

[tacomax]

Another night of solid pitching by Clemens claiming the 4-3 win. Houston now leading 2-1.

It's a scheduled Backe vs Suppan tomorrow and a juicy Pettitte vs Carpenter on Monday.

[Illusion]

I think Houston wins 2 games in this series. St. Louis wins the series in 6 games.

[jjgold]

Not bad Taxy

If they can get him some runs maybe he can sneak a win in. I do not think Cards are that great.

[tacomax]

This year he's faced them 4 times with an ERA of 2.63. Only 1 win from the 4 starts with typical Houston run support.
