"Since June of 2009 the Cubs are 3-15 when their line is with in 20 cents of a PK in the last game of a 3 game series if they split the first 2."

Houston at home against a minor league pitcher. Norris has a better than league average earned run average, better than league average WH/IP ratio, type of starting pitcher that can/will get Cubs out, thus my K artist comment. Want more?

Minor league pitcher vs Minor league hitters. Seems kinda like a wash.

Bud Norris is a K artist. Ok, Some of the cubs swing at garbage, I'll agree with that.


I would take the Cubs bat vs a decent pitcher all day over the Houston bats vs a shitty pitcher.

hou was even to win series

[Ryan138]

What's the public % at for this game? I see 50/50 at sbrodds and another place shows 62% Cubs.

[ngates815]

I'm seeing 96% on Houston RL....62 on Cubs ML, and the line has moved from +116 when I took it this morning down to +105.

This doesn't have the expected RLM that lakerboy had planned on. Is this still going to be a 2-3K wager? Waiting for lineups to come out?

[Ryan138]

Thanks, will be a real small Hou play I think for me. Not for sure yet though. BMaker has a tiny RLM, going to wait to see right before the game to make it.

[Wulfman14]

i want to bet on the astros after reading this thread, but the cubs offense scares me. if they figure out norris then no way astros can keep up with them . i dunno, damn this one is tough i might just stay away.

[Giant Rebels]

Load up on Astros and Braves.

[pacocn]

like the under in braves game, but i
do fear the beard.

[kcburg]

Carlos Lee is doubtful...per fantasy 911.

[ngates815]

Houston Astros - Carlos Lee -LF

<table width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td> </td> <td rowspan="2" width="80"> </td> <td class="greyNormal" align="center"> Houston Astros Carlos Lee -LF </td> <td rowspan="2" width="80"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td align="center">Aug 17, 2011 11:25 am EST </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> Carlos Lee (rest) is not in the starting lineup today vs the Cubs.

[ngates815]

Is Pence or Bourn playing for the Stros today?

[jlee]

who cares if he's a minor leaguer, not like the Astros can hit right handed pitching. Ride the Cubs hot bats.

[CanuckG]

Shuck CF, Altuve 2B, Martinez LF, Downs 1B, Paredes 3B, Bogusevic RF, Barmes SS, Corporan C, Norris P

[lakerboy]

why is carlos lee still up on prop bet at pinnacle?

[ngates815]

did you lay 2 or 3 K on this?

[JamesBrown]

Is Pence or Bourn playing for the Stros today?

Pence got traded to Philly....I thought you "broke this game down?"

Anyhow, I think Hou has a chance here and I will have a small play on them. BOL

[CanuckG]

I had a player prop once when I clearly knew a player wasnt playing and it was still up on Pinny....yeah just gets voided worddddd

[lakerboy]

did you lay 2 or 3 K on this?

NOT YET. I am waiting this one out. Line is dropping for houston but unless the cubs are favored at gametime they arent winning.

[Gio21]

Lee is out LB here's the link http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/2734/carlos-lee

[soxwin]

Liking the stros and the fish today. If you love the mismatch of -120 w/better pitcher , you have to love getting Sanchez at +115

BOL 2 You LB

[xyzky]

I can barely stomach any baseball...This would make me puke...But, GL sir!

[ngates815]

Ohhhh snap.

Maybe that's why I said I would take a minor league pitcher vs a minor league batting lineup...I post that Lee is out, followed up by is Pence or Bourn playing, don't you think I'd be taking a jab at the Astros lineup, and how pathetic it is?

But hey, you got me good.

[No coincidences]

You're right -- the Stros are never going to win again the rest of the season.

[SexyMit]

I was wondering why are the Astros favored 1st of all? They absolutely SUCK. But yes I like the Astros in this spot, you have my blessing Lakerboy LOL. I was thinking of taking them myself also... Good Luck.

[Finch Dinero]

How much does Lee not being in the lineup effect the Stros?
Dudes been a cubbie killer his whole career

[JamesBrown]

Oh good. Guess I didn't read it with sarcasm. Carry on.....

[brahmabull117]

this game is totally a coin flip, I'm surprised at the people here who think they have an edge on this game


Bud norris is a legitimate #2/#3 Pitcher in the league and Casey Coleman is awful. Cubs offense is playing good ball while the Astros offense is god awful



as much of a coin flip as you will see in baseball

[ngates815]

You're right -- the Stros are never going to win again the rest of the season.

Quote me where I said that.

I was simply stating that his reason for taking Houston was because they are facing a Minor League pitcher against a K artist.

I simply said, I'd take the Cubs bats vs a decent pitcher, than the Astros Poor lineup for a minor league pitcher.

So go ahead and quote me where I said they'd lose the rest of the season.

[ngates815]

Oh good. Guess I didn't read it with sarcasm. Carry on.....

Sarcasm is tough to read on the internet...But I hate baseball and even I knew that Bourn and Pence are not with the Astros anymore, hence me calling them a minor league lineup (which did beat me last night)

Don't let anybody change your mind. Go with your gut feeling. I won't bet a large amount on a bad team
