I like Bret Meyers, and dislike Brad Penny enough to take a flier on the Astros today.
But really Brad Penny... he is consistently inconsistent. His better days are behind him, and INJ's have robbed him over the years.
ASTROS FTW +213

Dave Duncan has built his rep on reviving pitchers careers, look for Penny to be very good this year....
i know this may seem homerish but trust me on this one

If Astros win, they have to keep it low scoring.

at -230 St louis has to have a 29% chance of winning this game to create value. Even the Colt 45's have a 29% chance of winning this game. Value is on the stros. Funny saying that a 0-7 team has value.
you trippin my friend if you think Myers holds US to 2 runs .... remind me again which cardinal are you?? Larussa? Pujols?? RYAN?? ...lol quit being a homer.
Nobody thinks they have a chance today. Looks like prime time to take the reverse RL on the Stros....
Everyone has abandoned them. Is this the Nets all over again?

They are a team that is hard to get behind, but I laid $50 on them.
Lets see what becomes of this.
BTW $50 is a regular sized MLB bet for me. Not a rich man, but will be once I bankrupt my book.

Completely agree with you Houlihans I was planning on taking the Astros today as well, -200 and up is completely absurd for Brad Penny. His early season numbers, career numbers against the Astros are not impressive at all. I think Houston has a chance in this one.

Houli, I think Brett Myers blows as well more than Penny. Cards have the better lineup ,but all that said i think you have a good plan. Nothing wrong risking 50 to get back a yard. Don't know if I will follow but I feel you.

The Astros had their chance yesterday and blew it, they won't get that close again in this series it is blown out like a candle in the wind IMO
