    Bear... Im curious, was this a joint JJ/Bear selection or just you?
    I'm leaning Stros as well but whenever I'm on same side as JJ, my luck turns south.

    Good luck.

    Can’t see why the hell anyone would lay juice w Stros? They might win, no way their chances are as good as line suggest tho. It a freakin toss up at best imo.

    Greinke 6-1 with 1.29 in 9 career starts against Nats.. Guessing that explains line.. I know he’s been terrible pressure pitcher and that being said makes it worse on the road.. Vegas must think he shoves tonight or they out slug them

    Not exactly same nats team he has seen for many those starts, Although he did shit on them for 7+ innings earlier this year. Even that game wasn’t the red hot nats he facing tonight. He prob be fine but nats making pitchers work, think he have to really work to get through 5-6 innings, gonna be a pen battle tonight imo:

    Yeah Greinke is older too, he's not the same pitcher he was 2-3 years ago.

    In fairness he has had 2 dominating starts vs nats last 2 years when he was basically same version of himself he is now. I think nats lineup tougher at the moment tho. Just tough to imagine he can go more than 5-6, I think he be effective for those innings but it be wide open if/when this becomes a pen battle imo.

    Same place they came up w freaking -200 for series! Stros either being overvalued or nats being hugely disrespected. I’m certainly not saying nats win this game, I just don’t buy for a minute that line is accurately reflecting their chances.

    Dont see how this is a good play. I've been on board with the astros winning the world series but they are down 0-2 and now you are telling people go ahead and pay juice for them for game 3 when they havent demonstrated one bit they can compete with the Nats. I say game 3 is a no play and game 4 is more of a play if the astros show life tonight. The last 10 teams to start 2-0 in the World Series, 6 of them have resulted in a sweep.

    Incredible as it is this feels a lot like when Red Sox swept cards to get their 1st ring in 100 years or whatever. Obviously Stros not out matched like that cardinals team was but has that feel to it. Nats are a freight train right now!!

    I believe the Astros will pull out a win but too much juice.

    I’m really not sure. As I said this kinda has the feel of a sweep but wouldn’t shock me in any way if Stros got back in it. But -140 or whatever it is now? No fukkin chance that accurate., how can this be lined any more than a coin flip beats the shit out of me? Maybe -120ish for Greinke over Sanchez but i really believe pens decide this game which equals coin flip to me. I could see Stros being favs for 1st 5 but that bout it.

    That is totally pathetic. All you have is $100.00 to wager? How much have you lost this year, and do not bother trying to convince us that you have won.

    the percentage play is probably the Astros but I am not buying it it looks like Washington is just a little too good on the pitching end

    Percentage play is nats but I’m not sure they win. Their chances def stronger than the odds imply tho.

    I like Houston. Do I like them enough to bet on it? Heck no.

    Why would go against a Washington that is coming home to their own park in front of their fans when they have won 9 straight games in the post-season against the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Astros?

    One thing I've learned over the years is that you don't bet against streaks. You go with them until they lose.

    Washington seems like a team of destiny. It reminds me of that year the Red Sox won 8 straight games.

    They came back in the 8th against the Brewers. They came back in the 8th against the Dodgers...this team is rolling.

    Astros will win if they pitch well, hit and stay healthy.
