Hou/Wash will go over 8 tonight

$$$$$

[FR3SH like UgHH]

why is this u say?

[Bluedragon]

I don't think Wandy will allow more than 2-3 runs so you're hoping HOU will put up 6 on the road?

Totals track record speaks for itself there is a method to my mayhem

[FR3SH like UgHH]

where exacly is ur track record?

[topgame85]

I agree with top. This is what I wrote in my blog about it:
If Jason Marquis pitches like he did during his last outing, this game could be over the total before we get out of the 1st inning. He’s given up six runs in his last appearance and appeared to revert to his early season form when he yielded five or more runs in his first four starts. Wandy Rodriguez has pitched infinitely better than his record indicates (he’s like the Matt Cain of the Houston Astros in that regard. Poor dude gets no run support). His road ERA is a full two points above his season ERA, though, and it is also a point higher at night than during day games. The Washington’s are capable of hitting a lot of home runs. And of striking out a lot. And of doing both in the same game! That might be what we get in this matchup.

But before his last outing against the phillies he was pitching pretty well so who knows. Over 8 is possible but by no means is it a lock.

i think it will go under, been eyeing this one

[EaglesPhan36]

Marquis has a good allergy to the Astros jerseys. He should give up at least 4 himself or much more.

[treece]

in topper we trust.

[Brp27345]

probably will... Wandy has been better... still 4+ E.R.A. on the road... and it's Marquis... not a lock but with the line I'm sensing a nats 6-5 win maybe... we will have to wait and see but I got off the Stros ML and am happy bout it for now...

Thanks for the pick and good luck! We all can use a good pick

[2ForTheMoney]

I took Houston for the win.. I just thinks it's a way more solid play than the over!!!

No bigger mush than someone who counts their money before the game has even started.
