    No, no, Lastros bullpen is horrific. They lead the league in losses. And are right their in blown saves. Lastros bullpen has no reedeming qualities. None.

    Lastros bully has looked passible in their last two games b/c of their opponent.

    dont do it, instead of putting ur typical 100-150. Put down like 300-400. But not few thousand, u know anything can happen in baseball.

    Was thinking the same thing, forget a side the over is probably the better choice imo, good luck either way

    I just got done breaking down the whole card, this isn't a bad play at all.

    I know it's Houston, but Norris is a K artist, he'll get 2 or 3 bonus K's from the Cub line up that likes to chase crap.

    Remember, the best team in baseball (which the Cubs are not even close) will lose 60 games a year, the worst teams in baseball win 60 games a year.

    Plus, if you are keeping an eye on what's going on in Houston, every game for the kids is an audition, perform you stay in the lineup, don't perform, you get sent back to the minors.

    You see the Houston to Oklahoma City shuffle that's been going on lately? These kids are hungry, it's not like they are mailing it in.

    Carlos Lee is the only hitter on the whole team that is guaranteed a big boy, major league check.

    Do this thing LakerBoy, Norris gets it done today.

    What reasons do you have for backing the Cubs on the road with Coleman?

    I love Norris and lean to the Stros myself. What percentage of your BR is $2-$3K? If it's no more than about 6%, then this is a reasonable wager based on the advantage of starting pitchers. However, the Cubs offense is much better than Houston's and I do not rate this any more than a standard wager. I have Houston at -124, so there is some value at -119. GL.

    Lakerboy nice hit on the D-Backs yesterday... you were right. Got a little lucky in my opinion but still you were right.

    I had the Phillies can't believe Halladay choked like that. Actually I blame Charlie Manuel for not putting in a closer in that situation. Also that Right fielder was not hustling relaying the ball in. If he gets it in a half second faster that 2nd runner is out at the plate.

    Houston at home against a minor league pitcher.
    Norris has a better than league average earned run average, better than league average WH/IP ratio, type of starting pitcher that can/will get Cubs out, thus my K artist comment.

    Want more?

    I love the balls in putting your cash on astros, but I could never pull the trigger on a big bet with such an awful team, regardless of how bad the cubbies are.

    Cubs will likely be a decent-sized public bet though.

    If this bet is predicated on the starting pitcher mismatch, FF may be the play as suggested. Stros pen has been dreadful all season, and even worse over the last month, 1.57 whip, that is insane! GL if you pull the trigger.
