The Phillies look to be the play but may be without Rollins.  Myers pitched well in his last outing and I think he can continue today at home.

Guys and gals….Check out crystalballsports.com.  They give free sports picks and they have been superb.  On baseball they never bet a favorite (-105 is the max they will play )  So far they are 25-12 for a profit on $100 bets of $2000.  Only pro sports and they have a profit on all of them.  I have been winning for the first time since I signed up with them.  It is free, you just need to open a betting account through one of the banners on their site and then they email you their selections daily.  I love it.

 

MC…….They think Backe has a shot in this game at a big price

i agree with houston as the pick, no way does myers warrant that kind of line, small play on stros for me simply as a value bet

Well after consideration it seems like Houston is a good value play.  The price for Myers is too high at -160+....

im new to MLB betting, whats the difference between Houston +155 Action and +155 Listed Pitchers (shown under moneyline), my guess is that it means its +155 for houston just to win and +155 for the listed starting pitchers to win? why is the moneyline in the + for this but the run spread for Houston +1.5 for -140. i dont understand that, can anyone please explain how this works to me! thank you

The +155 for listed starting pitchesr means that the pitchers listed have to start if not the play is cancelled. and + 1.5 is the run line, which means that Phili is fav to beat Hou by at least 2 runs.

actually since it is -140 is fav of Hou it means Hou can lose by one 1 run.
