Glad to see your with me on whitesox be careful with the twins. They might cancel out your whitesox win.

Why do you think so? It seems like the Dbacks are atrocious on the road.

Strictlywinners,
I've been following your picks and I'm surprised not to see Astros +145.
Going by the starting pitchers, the Astros, despite their offensive woes, seem to have the edge here. The Astros/Rays game looks like one of those games where the favorites are expected to bounce back but they eventually don't.

Wandy Rodriguez is not nearly as impressive on the road, 4.04 ERA. Opponents hit .288 off him. The Rays are the better team in every category. It was a major upset that the Astros were able to pull of the win over the Rays. The historical stats lay in the Rays favor heavily.

Wilforth very good you have been paying attention but obviously you have not been following quite closely enough. I will never take a dawg that opens at a line of +135 or more. If it opened at +130 and then went to +145 then it would definetly be a play.
