    Astros over Cubs Friday afternoon

    Who's with me? Looks like there is pretty good value on Houston vs Big Z who could probably care less at this point

    I thought this too...but then i thought dear lawd it's the astros. Also don't ever forget that motivation comes a LOT from money..Zambrano has a winning record on a losing team...makes him look pretty good to keep that up dont ya think?

    Astros have won two in a.row here which is like a act of god for them. I don't think I can back them . Much less on their first road game.

    Also cubs have a unique way of screwing me by showing to at home when they look like a fade..Not to mention they have screwed me over every early game at home this season..

    I try to be on the same bets as you usually but I think Im playing the cubs and the over if not past 8.

    Why do so many people like Houston? They are the worst team in baseball. I have yet to see someone like the Cubs.

    Cubs are only slightly better than the Astros at this point, and Norris has been better than Zambrano.

    It is a simple thing to ask, step away from the pitchers and ask whose better? Houston on the road or Cubs at home? Im on the cubs.

    You must read between the lines with the King...

    The quicker we can learn to tell eachother to fukk off and be ok with it, the quicker we can concentrate on getting better at what we do...

    I would never lay -150 on a pathetic bunch of losers like the Cubs. Norris is decent and the 'Stros are the play. They'll take 2 of 3 at Wrigley this weekend.

    Houston won two in a row, Cubs lost two in a row. Cubs are -145.
    Toronto won 3 in a row, Texas lost 2 in a row. Texas -189

    Easy to see who wins these.

    i certainly do not disagree with that, on the other hand just because Scrubbies are a terrible play does that necessarily have to mean hou is a good play?

    Both these teams find ways to lose. not sure just because there a plus sign it means take lesser of 2 evils.

    Either way pass for me ...GL everyone.

    If I had to bet it I'd take Houston, but I don't have to and I won't.
