The TT total for Houston is 5. That to me seems like a gift, but we all know about gifts..Jennings has picthed o.k. as of late but has a 13.46 era against the Stros including giving up 6 the last game in Houston..I am tempted to unload but wanted to use the vast intelligence of this site to confirm..Let me know what you think

Thanks

WOW! Are you kidding? That is hard to pass up! I might follow you on that one, unless someone gives a strong reason not to. Good luck.

I can not pass this up as the juice is high and I feel that the next step is 5.5

I will post all my plays later but took Houston O 5 -130 5*



Coors field + an ERA of 13+ it is definately worth a big play..GL to all who hop aboard..:103631605

Guys, Where can you play TT? I only play at Pinny and don't think they offer any TT unless they're playoffs? Appreciate any input!

CRIS offers these wagers. They have Houston O5 -135 right now.

Coors field adds about 1.75 runs for TT. You can break it down to day game vs. night games, and even home games by month over previous years (factor in humidor) to get more accurate numbers. But the gist of it is you aren't looking at more than 2.00 runs for TT.

The reason it is low is because Clemens gets poor run support. This is the same problem as the Big Unit syndrome where offense always shuts down thinking they only need to score a few runs to win (same drill with Pedro & Schilling in their prime). It's all subconcious but if you look at the average runs support for these aces receive vs. the rest of the team for each year, you'll see a big difference in run support.

Houston has averaged only 2.87 in run support for Clemens this year. 2.87 + 1.75 = 4.62. If you use 2.00 runs, you're still looking at 4.87.

Good news if you like the TT is Houston L4 games they scored over 5, but the previous 11 games they did not!

Not saying that Houston won't score O5 runs, just saying why the number is at 5.

Great breakdown. I agree, and I also saw the run support issue as a factor but will take the chances against the opposing pitcher more than the Stros lack of run support. Thanks for the input:103631605

Despite their recent production, the 'Stros are still at or near the bottom in most offensive categories. That is how I would explain the line. Even though Jennings gave up 6 runs in the last game against Houston, he only allowed 5 hits in 7 innings, one of which was a 3-run HR by Ensberg. I don't play team totals, but would be tempted to take U5 if the line continues to climb.

Nice grandslam in 5th inning after what looked like a low scoring affair.

Jennings gave up a single, HBP, passed ball, intentional walk, then the grand slam.
