Im taking HOU tonite -136.
This line is about right from what Ive seen.Clemens vs Mitre....mismatch.I know the Asstros have been offensely challenged as of late but tonight they face a RHP whos not had a start since last year.A year in which he had an era of 6.62.Year before that it was 8.31.HOU hits RHP much better than lefties..its a fact.In Clemens' starts this year hes got hardly any support.Lets see why.Clemens has faced Ishii (lh),Hudson (lh),Mulder (lh),Redman (lh),Halsey (lh) all losses.RHP hes faced...Maddux (loss) and Burnett (win) and Tomko (win)...see the pattern here.Last year Clemens was 2-0 at Wrigley w/an era of 3.15.On the road this year hes yet to give up an earned run in 21 ip.CHC have not exactly been exploding on people and over the L10 HOU actually has a better avg vs righties and are scoring just as many r/9 innings.Wally Bell is the ump and has been the pitchers friend all year w/ 64% strikes called and 272 ppg (8.78 rpg) and his record indicates him as a homer BUT when I see who won the games it was certainly the team that should have won in most instances.HOU should win this game tonight IMO.
