    So a rookie prospect coming up from Double-A ball is a -205 favorite

    no thanks...Astros or no play

    I have said it for the past 6 weeks or so there is serious value in fading the Rangers. Even though they have been playing like a tee ball team lately they are still over valued every game, as evidenced with the line tonight. If anyone has been fading them the past few weeks they would be swimming in dough. The only reason I haven't faded them is because I don't want to bet against my lifelong team, conflict of interest. So I only bet on the Rangers when I think the value is good for them to win

    Juice doesn't matter. You pay no juice when you win.

    JJ can vouch for this.

    here's something I noticed with the books. When texas gets -1.5 runline at + money there's a great oppurtunity to fade them as they can easily lose 10-5 for ie. Last night the runline ran all the way down close to -1.3 and I think that was an indicator. With -1.5 alternate for houston at over +2.7 Go for the gold and maybe hedge with the over im hoping to win both ways

    this kid's record is 8-1 and has a era of under 2 at aa. he must be pretty decent. but not touching either side.

    Means nothing. this happens all the time. In fact, just look at Liam Hendriks right now. Was 5-0 with a 1.94 ERA in AAA...comes up today and is getting lit up

    Exactly, Horace Bridges had a 37 inning scoreless streak in AAA and couldn't even seem to go an inning without giving up a run against the Pirates of all teams

    Jump from AAA to Bigs is huge

    Normally I'd say this is crazy, but with the way the Rangers offense has been, Hamilton missing, and a double A callup, I can see an Astros 3 run win.

    My boy Grimm will pitch well in his debut today. He's one of the best players to come from UGA in years-in fact we haven't fared too well since he left. He was fun to watch in person. Definitely good that his first start will be against the Astros and not some offensive juggernaut like the Yankees or Red Sox.

    I'm just pissed I can't watch the game. Fox has their national games in the same time slot, which means my MLB Extra Innings package is useless tonight.

    Harrel has a 6.13 ERA on the road but is 4-0 at home so I'd pass at the very least - Astros 9-23 as visitors too.

    Astros defense let you down here, should have gotten out of this inning with no runs scored. 2nd night in a row Astros defense turns what should have been a 1-2-3 inning into a 5 run outburst. Sorry bro
