when i first looked at this game i thought mil was a great solid play
i dont bet alot of favorites but this looked like it cant miss

but the small line really bothered me
i though the the line should be way higher than it was around -130

i thought it should be at least 180

so like a chump i took houston thinking mil was a trap

This is an interesting point. How many times do you quickly, at first glance, look at a game and say "Team A will win"? Then to do some due diligence you spend a couple hours looking up stats, drawing comparisons, etc only to talk yourself out of going with Team A and betting on Team B. Team A wins with ease. LOL! Sometimes too much information is a bad thing.

I've started going more and more with my gut these days.

The 'one big inning' theory applies to just about every team experiencing a bad run (with Houston's bad run starting back in early April

). But the Astros have been especially susceptible to the big inning in the last week or so. Go back and check the boxscores from their games beginning last week when they opened the series in Anaheim against the Angels.

Houston does suck but I'm tellin ya'll don't fu*k with them today... If you don't have the balls to take them stay away from it...

Scratch that... I am taking the under...

Yup I went around snooping with those damn stats and W/L pages and thats why I went with O and Blue gays.Also scared my gut instinct which was thinking both NY teams would lose also.

Stuiped brain!

Looks like the Spiro-lean is the Brewers today.

* 06/26/2007 12:51PM: +145 / -165 Opener
* 06/27/2007 7:44AM: +137 / -157
* 06/27/2007 9:18AM: +139 / -159
* 06/27/2007 1:02PM: +140 / -160
* 06/27/2007 1:13PM: +137 / -157
* 06/27/2007 1:50PM: +135 / -155
* 06/27/2007 1:55PM: +140 / -160
* 06/27/2007 1:56PM: +145 / -165

TheGreek currently has the Brewers -165, and 5 cents higher than most places.

Awful hard to lay more than -140 on any NL Central team, even when they're playing another NL Central team.

Gee, I guess the Astros are going to blow today game too. I see they just brought Dan Wheeler in the bottom of the 10th.

ShamsWoof10 · 06-27-07, 04:41 PM

Sure glad I switched to the under but that homer almost screwed me... I had a feeling that was going to happen.. Glad it was 9.5
