    Lines that make you go hmmmm.
    Pittsburgh/Houston (Jakubauskas/Rodriguez). +/-163ish at Matchbook.

    I just don't get it. Houston's offense is terrible on paper. It's just as bad in performance this year. 45 runs in 16 games. How are they such a big favorite over Pittsburgh?

    I'm on Pitt, and almost made it a 2-unit play.

            I think both the Pirates, and Nationals are going to surprize a lot of bettors this summer, also Orioles are the worst team in baseball.

            I have them today @ +180 to beat the Red Sox

              Wandy last year was like 10-1 with an era in the 2.00's at home to my knowledge ................... I could be wrong , but I'm not gonna look it up for you this is something you should have considered with your play in my opinion since it stands out so much for me.

                  I guessed the Astros line would be -185 before looking. Pitt playing poor and they're 1-3 against lefties.

                  The Rockies line in game 1 is the line that confuses me.

                    All over the Astros today.

                    "Jakubauskas lost both of his starts in the minors, allowing five runs and 10 hits in 10 innings. As a rookie for Seattle last season, the 31-year-old right-hander went 2-5 with a 6.64 ERA in eight starts."

                    Wandy is due, the Stros have been hot and the Pirates have a pug pitching.

                      Houston is bigger chalk today than they were yesterday with Oswalt on the mound, I see some value here, you have to have rocks in your head to lay the chalk in this game. It is Pitt or pass for me.

                          In the long run Justins play would make money. Houston is too bad to be such a heavy chalk.

                                Pirates' pitcher might be the worst starter in MLB all month.

                                      Wandy dominates at home and the Pirates offense is probably worse than the Astros. Astros faced some of the best pitchers in baseball in the first week to two weeks of the season and didn't have Berkman. I'm on Astros RL here.

                                          he'll have some stiff competition from pitchers on his own team for that distinction....

                                                      Hard to judge this play when the Pirates starter gets smoked in the head in the first inning. Would have been closer had he stuck around IMO.
