3) Bud Norris pretty much keeps the Mets bats at bay.
Plus, I think Norris is the better pitcher in this match up, sure his numbers are a little high so far, but he's not a bad starter, I always liked his stuff, I am not big on R.A Dickey, never have been.

Houston is not going to win any pennants any time soon, but they aren't the trash team everybody thought they were, I like them in this spot, not huge, but they are a live home bow-wow.

Houston +106 1.5*

You're normally pretty spot on but this is forced... Dickey is gonna deal. Averages don't mean much against a knuckleballer.

I like the under and the Mets... but no plays for me so GL.

[MoYaL]

Mets all day !

[stevenash]

Not a forced play, I appreciate your input, I like Norris against this:

Nieuwenhuis LF
Tejada SS
Murphy 2B
Wright 3B
Davis 1B
Baxter RF
Torres CF
Thole C
(Dickey P)

The bottom half on that line up is trash.
Ike Davis is a joke, Baxter and Torres doesn't strike fear in most AAA starters.

I do appreciate all opposing points of view, Norris should have his way with this lineup

BoL to you as well

I like Norris against that lineup too. Like I said, my first play would be the under.

[hankcream]

Nice pick at a decent price, Bud Norris is a decent pitcher on a sh^tty team.

[DudleyDawson]

Mets slap Norris around, imo...good luck!

[DudleyDawson]

Combined 1 hit thru 4 1/2 what a boring game!

[dj_destroyer]

I like Norris against that lineup too. Like I said, my first play would be the under.

[DudleyDawson]

Houston gonna break it open here.

[stevenash]

I was waiting all night for that Dickey brain fart.
Thing is with knuckle ball pitchers is, if you make a mistake, and hang one of those pitches that don't dance, well, forget about it.

[DudleyDawson]

Tied game. Don't worry, Mets still blow it!

[DudleyDawson]

Now Nash will be back...now that Houston's back up

[dj_destroyer]

Sharp as a tack boys. I'm +EV

[SOUP]

Congrats.

[vrksayy]

That was a close game; norris pitched decent til 7th, dickey too; I'm pissed I took dodgers tonight instead of texas, would have been a smooth 2-0 noche for the boy wonder.

[dudekid]

damn steve nash, do you lose ever???? lol nice job man
