    It won't last forever and then their lines will be overpriced. Eventually they'll realize Wallace is cooked and get guys like Singleton and Springer in the lineup and it'll get more pop. Their SP isn't half bad, but Norris and Bedard will likely get dealt at some point and they get no run support. Not a bad team to fade, esp on the road in April even though they're going to be big dogs.

    I've been making more $ fading the stros, pads, and mia than I have at work in the last week. On the RL too. Only getting -105 on RL tonight fading mia. So the boards are adjusting. I'm gonna continue fading them till they show me I shouldn't. Same for Astros and pads.

    Its only a value play if the team you're on wins. I wouldn't bet the stros if it was +300.

    Market will adjust eventually... would be more profitable to try and find spots in which they could win. Even if they go 50-110 this year that means they are still winning about 31% of the time... look for those +220 or higher lines in which you could see them winning

    Veteran pitcher returning to an old team against a rook who got clobbered last time out. Tricky spot tonight

    I'm all aboard the Fade the Astros train but i'm not fading them today. They are due for a win and this looks like a game where they can do that. Like Daneblazer said Mariners putting out a rookie on the mound who didn't perform well in the slightest in his first game.

    Strongly considered playing the Astros today... I have played them 3 times this year and they are 1-2 on those plays.

    That could turn out well for you. For me personally +130 isn't worth it. I'll be keeping my money away from this game. Best of luck to whatever you decide though.

    Didn't play it, Astros on the road I need them at at least +150... Bedard is familiar with Seattle though and the Seattle pitcher is a no-name. Just not good enough of a bargain to take the Astros. Instead I went with Washington, San Francisco RL, San Diego, and Texas/Tampa Bay Over.

    I live in the hatch back portion of a ford focus. But seriously, If they're only gonna win at a
    30-40 % clip, it seems to me that trying to pick which games they win is akin to a lottery play. You may hit a few times. Meanwhile, the fade side is consistently profitable.

    Astros are going to score all the runs for the remaining year in this one inning.

    0% chance they blow a 6 run lead to this Seattle offense. Fade the Stros for the next few games after this win

    11 runs, 13 hits, and Bedard with a no no thru 3... who are these imposters? Guess they were due to take out frustrations on another shit team!

    Seattle made a safety.

    It's still a 2 possession game, though.
