Oldman's Pick For Wednesday 7/5/06 - 9-3 (+7.32) YTD

oldmanTED · Jul 5, 2006

Looking at the Chicago/Houston game tonight. Teams going in opposite directions as Astros beginning to show some life and have put back to back 7-2 wins against the Cubs. Tonight Oswalt goes to the hill with a 3.27 ERA and 3.09 in his last 5 starts while to Cubs send Sean Marshall with a 5.22 ERA and 6.18 in his last 5 starts and 6.65 ERA on the road. Sense here is that Astros complete the sweep tonight against the hapless Cubs. Hence,

1* Houston -1.5 (-108)(Pinnacle)

Year To Date Record: 9-3 (+7.32)

Good Luck All.

Thanks OMT.
Like it. Fading the Cubs has worked most of the year, and with Marshall on the mound, Astros should have no problem denting the ball tonight.

Really like this one tonight and expect a comfortable win, but with that being said, I never rate a baseball game higher then 1* no matter what. Very conservative in MLB.

Thank you. Congrats on taking the Under 2.5 in the World Cup. Playing the Under since the Round of 16 has been a cash cow. Now let's get the Astros tonight.
