so you like +135. i'll pull for the stros, but betting against carpenter is a bad idea.

Houston leads this series 3-1 now. And of the 69 previous teams to find themselves in a situation like that in any best-of-seven postseason series, 59 went on to win. But none of those other 69 teams had Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens lined up to start the next three games. These Astros do. Which means they're in a slightly more attractive position than they were in a year ago, when they were also one win away from the World Series -- and had (ahem) Pete Munro lined up to pitch.

The astros have not lost a home playoff game in the last 3 series... 6-0

Pettitte fits on Game 5 stageHe has pitched in seven League Championship Series, making 10 starts. Even after a self-described atrocious outing last week in Game 1 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Pettitte is 6-2 in LCS games. If the Cardnials are as "Mad" as they say they are...will that effect their hitting?? Maybe swing at balls they would normally take, trying to steal on Pettitte who has one of the best pick off moves in Baseball.

hey max, you must be very excited about tonights game, its been a long time since i had a team in a game that meant something, other than the eagles debacle of a superbowl last year, and their past few years of playoff miseries...anyhow, best of luck to your astros tonight and savor the moment because for most of us, our teams have many year gaps in between post season play, especially in bases....good luck!!
