    Astros will lose their next 7 games.

    Perfect time for a little open parlay action. I think the Angels (11-22?!?!!?!?) help save face and win tomorrow to stave off the sweep. After that the Astros play a series at home against the Rangers who have been looking solid the past week then on the road to play the Tigers. They have already lost 6 in a row, 5 in a row twice and 4 in a row, so a losing streak of this nature is hardly out of the picture considering they've only played 34 games. I forget, is it better to open parlay or just go all in every game?

    They may lose 7 games in a row soon, but it won't start today. I think Harrell wins. Angels are just pathetic. Take the home dog. BOL though.

    1 down 6 to go. This loss reminds of their Game 2 in the first series where they had the game in hand in the late innings and gave it away. They went on to lose 6 (5?) in a row, I think we see a similar outcome here. Get it in now boys.

    What makes you think they'll win in Pittsburgh? Or do you just not want to be greedy?

    Giant sharp, I won't play the odds of them losing 7-9 in a row, won't be greedy yet. Will definitely see about placing at least one bet in the series though.

    I watched the Astros play the last three nights, against another minor-league team, my Angels. Anyway, you're right, they can easily lose seven straight against teams like Texas and Detroit. Baseball is just so incredibly fickle, makes it hard to gamble on, at least for me anyway. Good luck buddy, here is to the start of a catastrophic losing streak.

    Wouldnt surprise me at all, but its just not mathematically solid to play an open 7 tmr and hope they continually get reamed. More than likely they will win 1 or 2 of those games.

    That's some chalk but I really don't see the Astros winning this game. With Ogando on the mound the Rangers may even be a good RL play. *The Last time Ogando faced Houston he shut them out 4-0. The Astros have been hitting better but the Rangers should definitely light Keuchel up. The Rangers are the better team with better hitting and pitching coming off of a days rest, while the Astros just had a hard fought late game against the Angels. I can't see how the Rangers don't win this by two or more.

    Astros are going to take one of these games. They've been a lot more competitive the last week.

    Already down 5-0 in the 3rd. We know they won't come back to win this one. 4 down 3 to go.

    Now just betting on Astros to get swept on the road against Detroit. Thread is looking sharp so far.

    You are betting huge chalk in each game. Today, you are laying -300 on detroit.

    These are the chalk so far.

    -250
    -200
    -170
    -300

    You need to lose just once to give back most of your money.

    Instead think of RL in each of those games. No point in laying huge chalk in the month of april and may where underdogs win often.

    Had RL in this last game, gave it a little more gamble. Even 1-2 against Detroit all ML will put me ahead for the week, although the Astros are severely at a disadvantage here, depending on today's game I might do RL tomorrow.

    Won't complain about a 1-6 streak but that -345 line hurt a tad
