Houston Astros vs Chicago White Sox, odds predictions for series?

Journeyman · Oct 19, 2005

I am thinking this will be a pretty even series....

ClipJoint · Oct 19, 2005

Another series of low scoring games and great pitching...not just the starters, but great bullpens as well.

Pinny should open White Sox -122/Astros +112

bucsfan67 · Oct 19, 2005

Personally like Houston to win the series... more experience.

Houston -110 Chicago Even

ClipJoint · Oct 19, 2005

Houston has to be a slight favorite in my opinion.

D2bets · Oct 19, 2005

Oly has CWS -120/Hou +105 series

Clemens +120 Game 1 vs. Contreras. Boy, that's tempting.

D2bets · Oct 19, 2005

Houston opens +122 at Pinnacle. If you like Houston that might be your best number....

D2bets · Oct 19, 2005

Someone nailed it, down to +116

SportSavant · Oct 19, 2005

of course someone nailed it....

Greek had -120 at the same time!!!

Now it's down to +112 where I said it should have opened.

I saw that but I'm not about to tie up a bunch of cash for 2 weeks for a 2 cent scalp. I don't care how much cash you got, there has to be better ways to spend it.

D2bets · Oct 19, 2005

Down to +106. Nothing close to +122 will ever be available again.

Wrong team is favored...Houston should be favored.

FAVORED?

I don't think so. If CWS can get decent pitching, they can really hold down this Houston lineup.

In this series, Houston was something like 6 for 38 with runners in scoring position, and they were 4 for 35 going into tonight's game.

Ya. My predictions may be off but sometimes I feel like im one of the only one who knows anything about baseball on this forum.

Houston played like shit. They won because the Cardinals played worse than shit.

The Whitesox are much more powerful offensively than the Astros. Their pitching is really good too.

I cannot beleive these two teams are going to the world series. Both of them suck, how the hell did they get here?

It's called PITCHING baseball guy. Pitching wins Championships. It's why the Texas Rangers and Yankees aren't there. And it's about Gamers. Guy that can play in the clutch, and don't forget managing.
I think the Astros can win the Oswalt pitched games but not the others. I see the white Sox taking this one. Should be fun, and the ratings will be a lot better than when we saw two California teams a few years ago. Two of the biggest cities in the US just not your most popular teams. Whoever doesn't watch this series will miss some good baseball.

Pitchers duels are boring to most people, myself included. Now if you have a pitcher throwing a no hitter through 6 I might be interested.

If I wanted to watch 3 hours of a ball flying around with no action I would turn on a golf match or soccer game.

They cannot favir Houston, though the value is on their side!!! That would be sacreligious (spelling?) White Sox won the AL...they are favored....that does not mean they win!!

I will add some NEWPORT advice....and call me an over player all you want, but you play the unders in this series....I think you fail!!

I like the ASTROS a great deal here.......I would have taken the WSox over the cardinals in a second, but now I am an ASTROS BACKER!!!

and as much as their bats have looked dead at times, I feel strong about the Astros bats scoring!!!!

gl and GO ASTROS!!!!

NEWPORT.....my hoops league is 6-2.....much to the rebounding and assist play by yours truly NEWPORT....beers.......and then some after the night

Had to add some thoughts!!! LOL NEWPORT:toast:
