    Houston Astros have lost 3 games in a row ....

    This is a good time to back them for a win especially with peacock vs Valdez
    Peacock has been solid for me
    I'm pretty sure they haven't lost 4 games in a row all season. Am I wrong?

    IMO this is a good spot to buy some astros stock.

    Not going to lie to you that offense is struggling without correa and springer so bet with caution

    Worst case I'll double up game 5 but like I said I'm pretty sure they haven't lost 4 in a row and this is a good spot.

    Streaks are tricky in MLB

    Tampa were tough fuks

    Tor whore shit so might be able to break streak

    Agreed. Here in TO, people are frustrated with moves that senior mgmt made leading up to the deadline. A number of players clearly not performing on team. The line almost seems to low to me. Last time Peacock pitched against the Jays in TO, Houston blew them out 19-1. Was thinking the line would have opened at Hou -185 ish.

    Tampa is no joke. Solid lineup and pretty good rotation. Bullpen has been questionable but they seem to be improving. This.team can definitely contend IMO.

    I may take faria today....

    Bought a decent chunk of peacock/Astro stock today so hopefully it pays dividends.

    Pretty sad they can only draw about 2k fans for home games. Too much talent for that

    The injuries huge obviously as you take 2 studs like springer and correra out of any lineup it gonna hurt.

    I think another issue is team a little demoralized after the front office whiffed at trade deadline while they watched fringe wild card teams w less assets go out and make moves to improve. Last night their "big move" pretty much cost them the game, doing nothing would have been more productive than adding that gas can liriano to pitch out of pen..

    you could sense kuechal's frustrations in a interview w him after the deadline. Think might be best to proceed w caution w this team in the coming weeks. They do have nice sp mismatch tonight tho no doubt.

    Trends are your friend especially in MLB, but it's only a 3 game trend and Houston is arguably the best team in the league and at home with one of their aces on the mound..

    Jays have a suspect pitcher on the mound also.. I be surprised if Houston loses this game and makes it a 4 game losing streak.. Any other team besides the Dodgers and Houston I would say pass..

    I really think Stros getting too much respect in this thread. Nothing against them they a good team, great offense when healthy but they missing 2 of their 3 best players!!

    Guy pitching for jays a bum so sure they could easily win I just don't think the team taking the field tonight is great and they priced like they are.

    Wasn't arguing against them being a good team, just not sure they great as being talked about. Certainly don't think they above losing several in a row, just so happened they drew a gas can tonight so I couldn't bet against them. Glad you cashing buddy.

    Yankees TT unders aren't a bad idea right now.. Yanks are struggling mightily to score runs right now..

    Yanks last 4 game losses they only cashed in 6 combined runs..

    That's why it takes about an hour and half for me every morning to really cap them all and find the right ones to bet.. O/U and team totals take as much time as capping the actual games themselves as well..
