Myers is a much better pitcher than Westbrook.

With that being said, I don't know if they have any other advantages over StL.

Cards offense got a boost by playing Pittsburgh. Stros playing better. -150 juice is way to much....should be -125 or -130

Ralphie1412 · 08-01-10, 10:54 PM

anyone think a total of 7.5 for myers and westbrook is a joke? The over is juiced too, I might take a shot with the over.

problem is the Stro's have never seen westbrook and they don't have a stellar offense. Myers could f up the cards crap offense too. BOL

i like the play good find.

Rbyrne · 08-01-10, 11:04 PM

welcome back NC. i just started looking at the card.

nbarlotta3 · 08-01-10, 11:09 PM

The Cardinals are on a tear lately. i don't really lke this bet.

mvp123 · 08-01-10, 11:13 PM

myers is houstons best pitcher , and even when oswald was there myers was the better pitcher,but myers can give up the long ball or if he gets in a little funk , i think it might go over

Salmon Steak · 08-01-10, 11:13 PM

Isn't there some traded pitcher curse where they lose their first start? i.e Oswalt

Every game seems like a must win for stl but they have Garcia and Carpenter the next two games. Astros likely feel they need to win this one although cards have trouble with norris next for whatever reason. They are at home (good) and they are coming off a win too.

Good news for the Cardinals is they have nine more games with the pirates this season

It is going to be really hot and humid tomorrow in STL. I don't think anyone will feel like playing baseball in that. Likely under actually. my best guess.

2daBank · 08-01-10, 11:17 PM

i think you should consider that Larussa was smart enough to let him touch down and settle in and not rush him out there like the big names that got lit up there 1st start with a new team....the extra rest could be bad for Westbrooks sinker but Duncan will be very good for his sinker ...he gonna have to be solid cause Myers has been very good against us this year, i actually think it will be low scoring and we can get a few late but doubt i bet it......

jose21_us · 08-01-10, 11:30 PM

I wouldnt do it...

jboy4 · 08-01-10, 11:32 PM

I like the Astros as well.

TGHMak · 08-01-10, 11:38 PM

I want to take the Astros but I would wait to until the line is +150

702underdog · 08-01-10, 11:39 PM

Looks like Houston could be a live dog tomorrow.

I have 2 and neither one want to take a chance. If Astros were at home, they would reconsider. Good luck.

WiseGrumpy · 08-02-10, 12:07 AM

My Astros are finally playing with confidence, we all know how well they do against the Cards, I will probably place some kind of a bet. And the fact Westbrook is having his first game for the Cards, we all know what that means ...

paco · 08-02-10, 12:13 AM

Only team Westbrook owns, is the Tigers.

dolphan34 · 08-02-10, 12:19 AM

I'll probably put a small bet on them, but I won't like it.

Nats' Fan · 08-02-10, 12:27 AM

Good luck, NC. But, if you like this, maybe take the RL and pay the juice. I don't see them winning the game.. However, good luck.

WiseGrumpy · 08-02-10, 01:28 AM

Myers is 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA in three starts against the Cardinals this season.The Astros are playing well now, they play well against the Cards, Westbrook is having his first game which was a disaster so far this season for the pitchers, the price is right, Astros or no bet.

Pauulzcappin · 08-02-10, 01:34 AM

This line seem fishy to get people to take the Astros, really.

Any team way below .500 shouldn't be only +140 against the contending Cards, even if it's Suppan versus David Price.

I'll pass this game, I think it's a trap.

Orangemen 44 · 08-02-10, 04:40 AM

Im on them. Brett Myers getting a new deal and he has been pitching pretty well. Westbrook new team, new city, new catcher. Ill take a shot at the Stros

CHAZ · 08-02-10, 09:29 AM

We beat the Cubs and Brewers at home so don't let the recent win streak/stats fool you. They are still the Astros minus Berkman. Myers is 1 and 1 at STL.

Ninersnut · 08-02-10, 09:32 AM

I think cards get it done

JC2008 · 08-02-10, 09:41 AM

Houston's won 5 in a row but the travel may affect them.

HOT WINGS · 08-02-10, 09:53 AM

I like Astro's FF. I could see them getting off to good start and then blowing it at the end.

ger25pic25 · 08-02-10, 10:23 AM

value play on astros

drfunkmaster · 08-02-10, 10:25 AM

i took them as well

Chuck Sims · 08-02-10, 10:27 AM

Astros +149 is worth a shot.

Not Fishy at all Paul. Brett Myers since been as hot as anyone is his last 5 starts. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 1 start and has averaged 7+ innings a start.
