    Harrell and Waino have virtually identical numbers, yet Houston is +242/+110 RL

    Yes, the Cardinals are far superior, and yes, the game is in St. Louis. But I think this line is inflated by at least 60 cents. Banker? What do you think? Waino -260/-270 is asinine vs. Harrell.

    Have similar thoughts re: KC/TB. The pitching matchup is more lopsided, but the overall gap between the two teams doesn't warrant a +240/-260 line.

    I make St. Louis a 67% favorite to win this matchup......should be around -196. No way to touch that game at -260 or whatever....

    While true, teams must also be able to hit that little white ball being pitched to them. Which the Stros just can't do.

    Stros/Cards:

    Runs- 456/586
    BA- .240/.272
    OBP- .308/.339
    Slug- .373/.429

    Books have caught onto the shittyness of Houston and will Juice the remainder of the games....unless its against the Cubs/Rocks/Pads

    Harrel has played well but Wainwright owns the Astros.

    He is 4-0 with a 2.04 ERA in his past five outings overall and 11-1 with a 1.59 ERA in 13 starts against Houston...

    I expect a low scoring game here and see not many by for Houston...
