will the totals be posted as o/u 20?

My worry would be lack of production by both lineups, Pittsburgh recently, and Houston most of the season, and that Minute Maid Park is a pitchers park. Two crap pitchers could remedy that. 6 games played by these teams in Pittsburgh this year, 4 overs 2 unders. Hernandez was the starter in one of the overs, a 10-7 Pittsburgh win.

John Van Benschoten has the highest era in major league history of anyone who has made 15 starts or more, the guy is awful.

ArenaPlaya · 07-20-08, 10:44 PM

its 10.5

Even at 10.5, it still appears the Over is a safe bet. The 11th run may register in the 6th inning.

With the Over going 4-2, it's worth a shot.

Take a look at the game going over in the first 5 innings as these pitchers will probably still be in there.I had the Pitt/Col game going over 11.5 on Saturday and if I would have taken the over the first 5 innings(it was 6) I would have won.The game was 7-1 after the 2nd inning and that ended up being the final.I was pissed as I lost $300.

hmm, I want to pick this but I have to research first and see if both sides can hit both pitchers. Houston usually tops out at 6 runs and Pitt can hit like crazy some dayz and disappear in others (like the colorado game),,, Hernandez hasn't pitched in a while I believe, so I don't know if he has gotten any better or not.. Benhottenscrub has been getting rocked in every game. He is an iron balloon. When Houston played Pittsburgh the last time, Houston only registered 5 runs on that bum Ian Snell after it was Ian's first game back after shoulder surgery. I have to look at this one real good before I pull the trigger..

When you're done with your research let us know.

The Pirates have been hitting like AWFUL. They only put up 1 measly run on DeLaRosa in Colorado. I think something bad is going on w/ that Pirates team.

The Astros Run Line pays +125 last time I checked....

Man, I may just play the over 6 in the 1st 5 innings. Reason I say this is because I believe both teams are ready for both the players to fvck up and have the relievers ready just in case they blow the game in the earlies. I believe each pitcher will be gone by the 3.2 inning and the relief will provide the save/no runs for the rest of the game. Both teams have shitty bullpens but they seem to give up less than 3 runs after the 5th inning when they play each other.. That shows me that they were both preparing for those 2 pitchers to fvck up in the earlies. Hmm, the under for the whole game might be the play as well..

rake922 · 07-21-08, 10:37 PM

terrible beat if you had the under

Deke101 · 07-21-08, 11:17 PM

I got lucky with the over..parlayed it with Boston tonight and thought i wouldn't have to watch boston cuz it wouldnt matter. lucky...go boston.
