HOU +115 early Saturday at Wrigley

i think hou is in too much of an early season slump, and the cubs show out for their first weekend home

Probably taking Houston too.

Stros need a win, and Oz is the guy who stops the bleeding. He's being undervalued here at 0-2 with losses to Halladay and Lince.

wait is this the last game of the series?

Oswalt is getting old and is not the same pitcher he was. I think he gets knocked around pretty good at Wrigley today and the Astros have no offense to keep him in the game.

Reasonable play, good to parlay with the Under

i'm taking houston tomorrow as well.

I think this is the smartest move, as the correlation between these two plays is very high.

he looked pretty damn solid holding philly to 2 runs

I think Oswalt can get the win for the Astros

but overall Oswalt is less than stellar (7-5 4.55ERA, 91IP) in Wrigley; and I just can't stomach putting anything on Houstons offense who is on pace to be, by far, the worst offense in the last 30 years,

There is absolutly nothing good about the Astros this season. Even Oswalt is damaged goods.

Cubs team went to watch the Blackhawks game last night, prolly jinxed them.

Have an awfully hard time betting the astros at +115 only...not even bang for my buck.

teecee · 04-17-10, 10:38 AM

Please don't play the Astros today.

Thanks, LB.

Thinking of riding Ubaldo and Verlander tonight.

Love backing Aces against weaker starters.

Im not sure about det cause it looks like the m's bats have woken up. I like the rockies a bit.

DET typically doesn't play well on the left coast, but Verlander against R-S is a nice matchup. It's either the Tigers or a no play for me, but I'm leaning Pacoville.

Ubaldo is the best pitcher no one knows about in baseball. He's actually better at Coors, but I still like him in this spot even though the ATL kid pitching tonight is underrated as well.

I like FLA and SD tonight as well. Not sure why Nolasco's struggled so much this year, but he's far better than Moyer. Correia against Kris Benson? Yep, yep!
