In my opinion the Houston Astros may be the biggest fade for the rest of the year. Their pitching gets enough respect to make them favorites while their hitting is pathetic enough to keep losing games. This team just flat out cannot hit!!!!
I like the way you reason. Too often books will be favored toward a team because of the pitcher's record. You have pointed out Houston's lack of bat production as a reason these lines might be off.
I think you're absolutely on the $$ about the Astros. I mean Clemens is having one of the greatest years EVER and he will be very lucky to even win 15 games. That tells you all you need to know about that team.
