    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.

    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

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

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

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