It’s the Houston Astros` staple.

The glue that’s held an offensively dysfunctional team together and the elastic that has sprung them within one win of making their first trip to the World Series dance - pitching.

And by the sounds of things, it’s what sharp bettors are counting on tonight when the +140 underdog Astros head into Busch Stadium for their Game 6 meeting with the St. Louis Cardinals.

“The public will be on the Cards and the wise will be on the Astros,” says BetCRIS.com linesmaker Randy Stafford. “It’s the same matchup as Game 2 but a bigger price.

It seems the wise guys are taking the price on Roy Oswalt and not Mark Mulder."

Looking at Oswalt`s numbers, you can see why. He`s the only MLB pitcher to record 20 wins in each of the last two seasons and held the potent St. Louis offense to only five hits and one run over seven innings in a Game 2 victory.

That said, Cardinals left-hander Mark Mulder posted similar numbers during that game and is throwing behind a club that’s riding an emotional high after a ninth-inning comeback Tuesday night in Houston.

Houston was one pitch away from the Series when St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols slammed a Brad Lidge slider into the left field night to boost the Cards to a 5-4 victory.

The win cut Houston’s series lead to 3-2, placing the Cardinals in the same situation as last year when they won the final two home games versus Houston after trailing 3-2 in the NLCS.

“It gives us the edge to go back to St. Louis, but you still have to win two games,” Pujols told the Houston Chronicle. “We were in this situation last year coming out to our place, so hopefully we can do it again."

Of course, that`s only one way of looking at the situation.

“Well you’d have to say the Cards because they’re going home and are in the same situation as last year,” says Covers Expert Bryan Leonard. “But you still have to give the edge to Houston’s pitching staff. The Cards used their [best pitcher, Chris Carpenter] Tuesday night.” Oddsmakers have today`s total pegged at 7 runs.

Let me ask you guys this.If the linesmaker or boss of CRIS publicly announced the steam or BW or whoever is on Houston,do you think he is telling the truth.Don't you think this guy would lie to get action on Houston?Another question what kind of idiot sharp bets baseball at that place(CRIS).They have a 20 cent line on sides and totals all season.Most i bet is $500 and I would never bet baseball there.Do you really think guys betting $50,000 a game would bet there laying 20 cents when they could go right up the road to Pinnacle and lay 8 cents.If you bet this game StL is the play.Either bet STl or don't bet it is that simple.

They have a 10 cent line for the playoffs. Every sharp that plays online has CRIS as an out.

Anyone Say Trap On The Stros In This One. No Team That Was 1 Strike Away From World Series Has Ever Won Another Game In The Series. Houston Is 0-5 In Nlcs Clinching Games. They May Win And Go To Series. Anything Is Possible. Their Best Bet Imo Is Tonight. If They Don't Get It Done Tonight And I Don't Think They Will, They Never Will. Even Down 1 Game Is Series, This Is Cards Series To Lose Now. Let's See What Happens.

ST L -150 for 15 units

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica]Only my second wager on this series, had ST LOUIS in their first game at home. I am a diehard Astros fan, was at the game Mon night and am still struggling with the stunning outcome.

That said, I do not let my heart rule my wallet. I believe the lingering feeling of such a dramatic loss stays with them AT LEAST for the next game. As Larry Walker noticed when he saw Astros players laughing and dancing in the dugout in the 9th "you just don't do that until the last out". Now Brad Lidge is saying ""This is the kind of thing that makes our team stronger."

Uhh, last I checked CRIS was one of the biggest offshores and one, along with Greek and Pin take the most steam betting.
