Yesterday: (L) STL crushes HOU 10-1. I took HOU on the ML.

MONDAY, APRIL 9th (2:20 ET)
Woody Williams vs. Ted Lilly
2006 Season Series: 8-7 HOU

A new week and hopefully a better time for the 'Stros and myself. The forecast today is for temps in the upper 30s with a light breeze blowing out to right center. As for the pitchers, it's a crap shoot. Williams is horrible against the Cubs and horrible at Wrigley with a 1-6 lifetime mark and a 6.04 ERA. Lilly meanwhile comes off a stellar first start for the Cubs, but has never pitched at the friendly confines. He has one lifetime start against HOU which was a loss in which he gave up 4 runs in 6 innings.

Analysis: The Astros actually have decent #s vs. lefties so far to the tune of .320 in limited ABs. The Cubs beat a pair of good righties in Arroyo and Sheets, so they can hit Williams.

Options: CHI (-158), CHI RL (+140), HOU (+148), HOU RL (-160), Over8 (-110), Under8 (-110)

Pick: Over8 (-110)

Woody Williams does suck against the Cubs over his career. However, I'm gonna take a shot with the Astros +140 in this game instead of the total.
