Hou/Cin in-game thread

dottom · Jul 3, 2005

I'm heavy on Hou/Clemens this one, a tad on the heavy side. I paid -147 O/L and thought I'd beat the steam (opened -135 to -140 at most books). Today I see lines all over the map from -160 to -132 at Pinny about an hour before game time.

Not sure why action is all over the map here. Houston is turning the corner, Cincy is going the reverse, and Clemens is best pitcher in baseball. Just don't see how this shouldn't be a -180 or higher line... Houston road record, or bullpen perhaps? They've only lost 1-game this road trip.... let's see if Clemens can go 8 tonight.

If this was Pedro on the road vs. Cincy the line would be -180.

Berkman GIDP to end top-1st.

Cincy decides to pitch to Ausmus rather than walk bases loaded to pitch to Clemens (2-outs). Had Ausmus 1-2 but he manages a single to score a run. :103631605

Clemens batting average

Anyone notice Clemens is batting .241 ?

And another Claussen/Cincy mistake... focusing on the runners rather than just getting Clemens out!

When men on the corners, Claussen tries pickoff attempt (Ausmus, the catcher at 1B... he's not going anywhere!) Then a wild pitch leads to a run scored. Clemens made an out, of course.
