Houston +140 or pass.

Betting the yankees is a losing proposition at -150.

Chamberlain will be on the 90-95 pitch count.

Only his third start, has yet to pitch 5 innings in a start.

Yanks, are only a .500 team.

Yes, Chacon may belong in the trash heap - but laying the chalk
with these yanks, (or most, if not all -150s) in these types of situations is an invitation
to the soup line.

Pass on these yanks, its not worth the pain.

I'm not going to recommend laying the price on the Yankees and Chamberlain tonight, but the way the Astros have been playing -- And particularly the way they've been pitching -- it is very difficult to play Houston at this time. And Cooper has had to go to his pen a bunch the past couple of days, so if Chacon can't go deep tonight, it could waste the relievers for the rest of the series.

If you are looking for an angle or a trend to support a play in the Astros, it's that they've won the first game in four of their last five series before dropping the next two. In the series they didn't win the first game, they just lost all three of 'em (in Milwaukee a couple of weekends ago).

Houston is the better bet IMO. Chamberlain will get into trouble pitch # wise and shred up that 95 pitch limimt early enough for the bullpen to blow the game.
