Is there anyone on Houston +1.60 for tonight?? W/ Poll

I have a Poll in the main forum...here is the link

http://forum.therx.com/showthread.php?t=310032

What are your thoughts on the game Max? Petitte has been almost unhittable and unbeatable. Carpenter has not lost at home since early June. Looks like it should be a pitchers duel. Any thoughts?

This game has Under written all over it. I love Houston +1.5...but you know that when a line looks like a winner...it can go the other way...you know this is my team so my plays will be biased, but good luck

Was thinking under myself. But that does look like the obvious choice here.

So Houston and the over is the play. I dont know about you but I learned my lesson from the Angels/WhiteSox game 1. I think that if Houston can get a hold of STL's bullpen in the 7th, they might go off again.
