Bats get going after 5th probably.Comment -
I want to get on one early game but not sure yet. Maybe Twins depending on how Gibson has pitched lately.
Hoping Sox can keep the momentum going but will stay away..Good luck all!Comment -
That's a tough one. I like all the young talent Houston has, and they have introduced them earlier this year than expected. Believe it or not they are actually producing. They certainly make for interesting games for the most part. nobody can take them lightly anymore.Originally posted by BeanTownClown88Comment -
I ended up taking Houston..Oberholtzer been pitching too good to go against at home.

Preview: Twins at Astros
Weather information is currently unavailable.5-Day Forecast
GAME: Minnesota Twins (53-65) at Houston Astros (50-70)
DATE/TIME: Wednesday, August 13 - 2:10 PM EST
WHERE: Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
LINE:100, -108TOTAL: 8
Chris Carter is quietly becoming one of the most dangerous sluggers in the game and is in the midst of an impressive streak. Carter will try to homer for the seventh time in as many games when the Houston Astros host the Minnesota Twins in the rubber match of a three-game series on Wednesday. Carter is one of several players that are combining to make the future look much brighter, with Jake Marisnick and Jose Altuve joining him of late.
The Twins have a stream of prospects almost as highly regarded as Houston’s but is integrating them into the majors at a slightly slower rate. Future key cogs such as Trevor May, Kennys Vargas and Danny Santana are contributing to the 2014 team, but the top-level prospects in the system are still developing in the minors. The Astros have spent the season bringing up one prospect after another but it is Carter, who is one of the old men of the group at 27 and is already on his fourth organization, setting the lineup ablaze with 13 RBIs in the last six contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Kyle Gibson (10-9, 4.13 ERA) vs. Astros LH Brett Oberholtzer (4-7, 4.05)
Gibson continued a season of inconsistency by following up a pair of wins with a clunker at Oakland on Friday. The 26-year-old was tagged for six runs - five earned - on five hits and five walks in five innings by the Athletics. Gibson was at his best against Houston on June 7, yielding three hits in seven scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Oberholtzer has allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven of his last nine starts but was stuck without a decision against Texas on Friday. The 25-year-old surrendered two runs and six hits in seven innings but was held out of the decision. Oberholtzer is making his first career start against Minnesota and is 3-3 with a 4.31 ERA in nine home starts.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Astros can match their win total from last season (51) with a victory Wednesday.
2. Minnesota OF Oswaldo Arcia (back) returned to the lineup Tuesday after a three-game absence and belted a pair of home runs.
3. Houston CF Dexter Fowler (intercostal strain) is expected to be activated off the DL on Wednesday.
PREDICTION: Astros 6, Twins 4

What makes you like the over FG Rollin, mag and labone? Line ups pretty weak, getaway game. I like the under but hate that its juiced now at -130 for me. If it drops to 7, I like the under
I also like the Twins, I am a huge Houston betting fan, but I have a feeling Bo Porter will rest some guys today and let this one get away from them. Being the chased is a lot different than being the chaser. Just IMPComment -
???? what gameOriginally posted by bluetooth3Comment -

I stayed away Rollin talked me out it, same reason. Get away day, lousy hitting and doesn't think Cincy can score 5 and sees the Bum Sux as 2 or 3. So I kind of agreed and walked on that. BOL to you....Originally posted by bluetooth3Comment -

I like the Twins. I have made a nice profit betting Houston as the dog, but I cant take them as a fav. They have talent but they are not a team i put money on as a fav. With the line moving in favor of the Twins, but the public # not where id like, im stumped. Like the u8 even with the juice...that game looks tougher the more I look at itComment -
Well your Red Sox are up two-zip still in the first inningOriginally posted by bluetooth3Comment -
reds getting pounded like a whore. not a good start to the day.Comment -
Yep pull Leake out you dumb ass Reds Coach. He is sucking today!Originally posted by PauulzcappinComment -
Reds just tied it peeples!
Shumaker homered to right field bottom of the 4th one out. 2-2 Leake just homered 2-3 Reds. Now why couldn't they do this last night when I had more money on them?Comment -

On steroids pumped! haha 3-3 now we maybe should have taken the over here!Originally posted by SnowballComment -
Fhking pricks can't play any D at all...Comment -
absolutely retarded how leake gave the lead up so quicklyComment -
I can't seem to learn my lesson of staying away from games with an unknown pitcher going.
That and when a started is fresh off the DL.Comment -
Didn't I say in the 2nd inning to yank his sorry ass? Now look at it and yep we should have taken the over here!Originally posted by PauulzcappinComment -
There is that over. The u7.5 was juiced to -130 for me, just played the over because of the heavy juice. Sometimes doing that can be better then analyzing every angle :/Comment
