    Great value today in the Houston Astros +240! I would like them at +140 today

    Jordan Lyles has looked MUCH better over his last 3 starts compared to a real tough start to begin the year.


    Astros have won a season high (and what seems like a decade high) 4 games. Meanwhile the Angels have won 2 out of their last 6 games and were shut out on 2 of those occasions!


    Give me the ASTROS today! I would love them even at +140 today, so anything above +200 is an absolute Christmas gift

    Angels might win, but the value is all over the Astros. REALLY tough to take the Angels at -250 today how they have been playing

    Hard to bet on value in this spot.

    I'm an Astro fan, and want to pull the trigger, but Wilson pitched pretty good against us the last time in LA. Lyles still makes me nervous because of how his spring training went. I'm just a fan today. Pass

    +140? Angels have a much better pitcher and at home.

    I'd gladly lay +200 here, although I won't be betting the Angels at -260 or whatever

    I agree way too much chalk. Just saying better value on a few other games today, Braves, Phils, Reds.

    Good luck on the wager though.

    Lyles has give up only 1 run in his last 3 starts and really only had 1 bad start all season where he gave up 8 runs to Texas.


    yisman, the Angels are not exactly great at home with a 14-15 record and somehow Houston does better on the road than at Home

    The astros play was last night, this could go either way depending on which Wilson shows up.

    Parlayed Phils with LA. Phils look to be on their way. Do I hedge out and take Houston here? I can't imagine they sweep.

    why would you want to hop off the +800 train now? HOU has a better shot at the W than +200 imo.

    Taking your advice...call me crazy

    Just won $700 in blackjack at my local casino...walked into the betting area and parlayed the $700 on Houston at +240 and Under 8.5.

    Its one of those so-called "free" bets. So, lets roll (softly) Astros!

    1 to 1 in the bottom of the 3rd...Lyles is looking OK, but he isn't super sharp. Going to be a nail biter...how is the houston bullpen?

    Oh and sorry, I got the parlay at +225, not +240. Still a houston win under 8.5 would pay well!

    This is in the bag.

    The Angels have two DEAD ZOMBIES, in the middle of the lineup, a gas can for a pitcher, and a bull pen strung out on coke. Houston is pitching and hitting with confidence.


    I would be shocked if Angels cover +1.5

    Who's tooting blow in the pen? Did I miss something? Or is that speculation? If its speculation, I suspect they are getting looped on PCP. They can't find the fuggin strike zone. Especially that fukk Frieri. I think Big Ern McCracken is passing dippers around the pen.

    Could go either way -- Houston has 4 solid hits. 2 Homers and a double and an RBI single. Top of the 7th, 3-2. Lyles has gone over 100 pitches...time to go to the bullpen.

    Nice call PO69

    The Angels have so much toxicity with Aybar leading off (struck out to lead 1st never took bat off the shoulder), and Hamilton (wouldn't hit cleanup in AA in this form), that when Pujols and Trumbo go cold, they have zero chance to score.

    If Trout leads off the 8th they might get the third run. I'd feel fanfikkingtastic to be holding an Astros ticket

    Admittedly, I took the Angels in the home finale in a 3 teamer - I would not and refused to believe that they'd get swept at home by the 'stros. I'm hoping for the usual Jose Veras meltdown in the ninth.

    good call pal.

    getting swept by the stros at home is an embarrassment to the major leagues.

    For my bet, I hope not, but we have all seen those things happen! I have a side bet on the under...but who freaking knows! Love this stuff.

    Come on Stros and under...baby needs a new pair 'o shoes

    ok, here comes the dreaded bottom of the 8th...will this be the undoing?

    the thing about sports betting ...it provides entertainment for a much longer time than the tables.

    Shit.... Pujols returns to form just in time to screw up my bet.

    The Houston bullpen will pull this out. I have ZERO doubt.

    The win looks good for houston...the under ...not so much...dammit.
