    (houston favored 1st time in 3 months)

    BOYS THE HOUSTON ASTROS ARE FAVORED TONIGHT AGAINST THE CHICAGO CUBS I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE BEEN FAVORED IN A GAME IN 3 MONTHS

    HOUSTON KEUCHEL -110
    CUBS VOLSTAD +102

    I WONDER HOW THE ASTROS WILL DO A FAVORITE THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING BEAT UP NOW FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS THEY WERE CLOSE TO 4-1 DOGS YESTERDAY AND WON SO WHO KNOWS MAYBE THE ASTROS WILL PRODUCE AS A FAVORITE

    I'm going to the game tonight thinking about buying the $6 tickets and then making my way to the bottom.

    They are 28-40 at home and 16-56 on the road. While the Cubs are 20-52 on the road. Bum teams.

    The same way they handle themselves as underdogs -- by not giving a shit.

    The Stros are playing better lately and just took 2 of 3 in Cinci... Would not fade them when it's a dogsh*t team like the Cubs.

    As a guy that's been fading the Astros since all star break, I am actually betting on them tonight. The astros play halfway decent at home, the cubs are pure garbage on the road besides the fluke sweep they just pulled on the pirates.

    But I am now fading the pirates lol.

    Volstad got POUNDED by the Stros @ Wrigley. Stros are a great team to fade with the exception of Harrell on the mound.

    Houston wins today. They're flying high after taking the series from Cincy and they have Volstads number.

    Lolololol.

    So true. I'm still taking Stros, though. I watched the game where Volstad threw against Houston and it was like he was pitching BP.

    Over looks good too.

    Win or lose, I don't know how anyone can lay money on the Astros as a slight favorite.

    You don't bet it, that's what you do with this shit game.
    Unless you know for a fact that the HPU is on the take, there is no clear angle here.
    Both teams are shit, both teams checked out Memorial Day, how can you possibly bet a 50/50 proposition on two equally shit teams.

    Anybody who bets this game, needs to check into GA, there are 'B' league Hungarian Handball matches I'd rather bet before this AAA game.

    Take Cubs. They have a better Bullpen, offense, and defense. All marginal but cumulatively equal a win.

    I did it at the old Reds stadium... they're really strict at the new one (Great American Ballpark) for the first 4 or 5 innings, then you can move down.

    For us it's most likely in the 8th inning on weekdays when it's not a crowded house. Ushers really ruined it for me! Moving closer really made me feel like a big timer!
