    Thoughts on this series please

    Is it just me or does this series look too good to be true?

    Houston Astros +140
    Philadelphia Phillies -160
    Something just don't look right here IMO.

    I'd like to get some opinions on this one if I could please.

    With Oswalt going today, that +140 looks really tempting.

    But the Phillies have Hamels and Garica going in the next two against Jennings and Williams.

    I do think there's decent value with Houston in this one. Philly has been an overrated home team for a while now. I think Oswalt will have a very good game tonight.

    Then, sure Hamels can be great, but Garcia is coming off of an injury, he might not have great arm strength and be a little off. Jennings is actually not terrible for Houston, and Williams, well, he's a wild card. But Houston's offense might pick it up here, and I think the starting pitching edge for Philly is not enough to justify this series line.

    I'd take PHI up to -170.
