Figured I'd do something a little different and make a daily pick with my hometown team, the Houston Astros. Each day, I'll give my pick for their game and we'll see what unravels! All lines will come from BetJam.

For each bet
= one unit

MON, APRIL 2nd vs. PIT (7:05 EDT)
2006 Season Series: 13-3 HOU
Zach Duke v. Roy Oswalt
The Astros dominated the Pirates last season with Oswalt on the hill for three of those wins, all coming by more than two runs. Duke is 0-3 in 4 career starts vs. HOU with a 5.56 ERA and was a pathetic 1-11 on the road in '06. Oswalt is 10-5 vs. PIT with a 2.76 ERA, 6-2 at home. Roy O is 53-18 pitching at Minute Maid Park during his career with a 2.65 ERA.

PICK: Astros -1.5 (-105)

Not a game I was really considering personally Eaglesphan. However, that would be the way I'd have to play it as well.

BOL to you sir

Good luck, EP The run line or total are indeed the only angles to consider in this one. Will be interested to see how you pick Houston each day.

The line is actually up to +110 now, so I'm definitely in on this now.
