    Josh Johnson shouldn't be -230 vs. a high school team

    What a line.

    These are definitely trap lines we are seeing today. A big dog is going to hit today and it may very well be the Astros. Of course the BJs want to beat up on the lesser team for a possible sweep, after their own recent spankings; however the Astros have proven to be upset artist and seem to take at least one big dog game in a series. This may be it. These recent lines have been completely outrageous and inflated. Look at what happened to the Nats yesterday at -240? (First off even at home, regardless of who is pitching, the Nats have no business anywhere near -200ish against anyone right now and I don't care who is pitching.)They got destroyed 11-0 and came back as a dog and beat the Mets with Matt Harvey on the dirt against them. Or the Mariners -240 with King Felix. We all know how that ended. Both huge favorites lost yesterday and there is three today. Josh Johnson is terrible so that is worth more than a look and please someone tell me how in the world the Giants are -240 against the Cubs? Bumgarner or not, Soriano gone or not. The Giants are playing somewhere in the realm of the Nats right now. And Rusin isn't gonna be a walk in the park by any means for the Giants anemic offense. Some huge dogs today. They are all worth a look. I am not gonna lay a dime on the Phillies against Scherzer though. Cubs and Astros parlay would win huge lol. Its very possible.

    I think they are setting line so high to get everyone on Houst. Toro wins this 6-1

    Houst might even get a few runs, but I see Toro ( much like last night) hammering them with their bats.

    there is no way in hell that Johnson gives up only 1 run...the blue jays might win, but it will be high scoring

    I wouldn't bet here at all, but Josh should be well rested after only pitching 2 innings his last outing. He really should get it done, but these odds are garbage.

    Blue Jays have won just three times with Johnson on the hill - covering the run line each time at the Rogers Centre

    Only way to play the game in my opinion

    Astros +206 here, it is unfortunate that Johnson just hasn't been the same since coming back from shoulder surgery last year.

    Josh Johnson was a high school teammate of mine.

    I hate seeing him struggle like this....

    Houston may find a way to give the +200 ml back to the bookies...penetrate me, Astros can suck with the best of them at times. Please hold on!

    And what do you know 2 out of three huge favorites lost, as both Jays and Giants got bit by the dogs. I hope someone parlayed the Cubs and Astros.
