TBH, I don't know what to make of Astros TT because the Atsros are an UNDER machine. The thing is this though:

1) Paulino allowed only 2 runs in 8 innings when he last pitched at Wrigley. One expects more of the same today.
2) The Astros have the edge when it comes to the bullpen.

Thus, I envisage a situation where Astros may need no more than 4 runs to win this game if Paulino goes deep. But the combination of Silva and the Cubs pen, makes Astros TT OVER 4 a good play, IMHO. I like Astros ML more than Astros TT OVER 4.

I'd lean:

Astros/Cubs UNDER 9
Astros TT OVER 4.

My prediction for the game: Astros 5, Cubs 3.

Hope you're right. I put a large chunk on Astros -1.5.

Don't go too large on the Astros. A better RL play today is:

Twins -1.5 (+170)

both pens are gasoline cans at this point....both pitchers are in the top 10 of most homers allowed per inning.... no reason to risk $ on the under

Thanks. The pen is really an issue here. I was just thinking Paulino has had some success against the Cubs and he may go deep. Otherwise, the UNDER is a no-go with the Cubs in a daytime game.

I feel like I remember noting that Paulino has faced the current cubs, a very miniscule amount.... which somtimes works in the pitchers favor.... but Felipe, doe not get the benefit of the doubt...
