    Astros/Rangers

    WTF is with the lines in this series?

    Rangers were +171 tonight?

    Made zero sense. The line jump from -155 to -185 made no sense either.

    Rangers have won 5 in a row against Houston.

    Rangers have a winning record and are a better team.

    Houston has a losing record.

    Makes no sense.

    As a team, Houston takes the worst swings in all of baseball.

    They swing and miss on more pitches out of the zone than any team I have ever seen.

    Texas is 4th in baseball ATS.

    Houston is 29th.

    Nice adjustment by oddsmakers.

    And tomorrow you can get Hamels at a real nice #. I feel like Kuchel is due for a good performance at some point though, right? Most of his problems have been on the road not home.

    Lmao.

    Down 2-1 in the ninth....do you work the count to try to get a base runner?

    Hell no! Houston swings at the first two pitches and both result in weak ground outs to the pitcher.

    All three batters in the ninth swung at the first pitch.

    And the strike out swinging for the fences on a ball in the dirt to end the game.

    I knew I should played Texas. Line moved over 30 cents in Houston's favor for no reason.

    Yup, and +154 Friday night as well.

    Friday O/Under 9, tonight O/Under 8.5.

    Books were shelling out Astros and over in both first two games.

    Glad you're cashing with this discovery as you have posted this several times. You'd be a fool not to take advantage of it.

    Can't believed I laid -150 on Stros. Looks like they'll just never beat the Rangers. Ever.

    One of those avoid the sweep lines people love to bet into. I'll back the Astros on the road at a fair price. Unless Gomez is playing of course

    your anecdotes cannnot be supported by facts

    Their active roster is the 5th best team with a swing % of only 25.9% outside of the zone
