    Houston Astros +106 is my play tonight

    1) I like home dogs.

    2) Astros light up R.A. Dickey

    HOUSTON ASTROS CAREER STATISTICS VS. R.A. DICKEY
    BATTER AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO AVG OBP SLG OPS
    Brian Bixler 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 .200 .200 .200 .400
    Travis Buck 3 2 1 0 1 1 0 0 .667 .667 2.000 2.667
    Jason Castro 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 .667 .667 1.000 1.667
    Matt Downs 2 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 .500 .500 2.000 2.500
    Chris Johnson 14 4 1 0 0 1 0 0 .286 .286 .357 .643
    Carlos Lee 21 8 3 0 1 5 0 2 .381 .381 .667 1.048
    Jed Lowrie 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 .500 .333 .500 .833
    Jordan Schafer 7 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 .429 .429 .429 .857
    Chris Snyder 5 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 .000 .167 .000 .167
    Brett Wallace 11 4 3 0 0 1 0 1 .364 .364 .636 1.000
    Totals 73 26 9 0 3 10 1 6 .356 .360 .603 .963

    3) Bud Norris pretty much keeps the Mets bats at bay.
    Plus, I think Norris is the better pitcher in this match up, sure his numbers are a little high so far, but he's not a bad starter, I always liked his stuff, I am not big on R.A Dickey, never have been.

    Houston is not going to win any pennants any time soon, but they aren't the trash team everybody thought they were, I like them in this spot, not huge, but they are a live home bow-wow.

    Houston +106 1.5*

    You're normally pretty spot on but this is forced... Dickey is gonna deal. Averages don't mean much against a knuckleballer.

    I like the under and the Mets... but no plays for me so GL.

    Not a forced play, I appreciate your input, I like Norris against this:

    Nieuwenhuis LF
    Tejada SS
    Murphy 2B
    Wright 3B
    Davis 1B
    Baxter RF
    Torres CF
    Thole C
    (Dickey P)

    The bottom half on that line up is trash.
    Ike Davis is a joke, Baxter and Torres doesn't strike fear in most AAA starters.

    I do appreciate all opposing points of view, Norris should have his way with this lineup

    BoL to you as well

    I like Norris against that lineup too. Like I said, my first play would be the under.

    I was waiting all night for that Dickey brain fart.
    Thing is with knuckle ball pitchers is, if you make a mistake, and hang one of those pitches that don't dance, well, forget about it.

    That was a close game; norris pitched decent til 7th, dickey too; I'm pissed I took dodgers tonight instead of texas, would have been a smooth 2-0 noche for the boy wonder.
