Season: 5-7 (-2.30 units)
Underdog game of the Year:
--------------------------------------------------
MIL: LHP Chris Capuano (3-0, 3.68 ERA)
vs
HOU: RHP Roy Oswalt (3-1, 3.34 ERA)
How come a team that lost 6 games in a row can be a -160 favorite?
This is the best dog i've seen till now from the start of the season, and it has a lot of value. The Houston Astros have dominated the Milwaukee Brewers at Minute Maid Park in recent years. The Astros (9-12) are 20-5 against the Brewers (13-8) in Houston over the past three-plus seasons, never losing back-to-back games in that span. Milwaukee has never won any of the 17 series it has played at Minute Maid Park since the venue opened in the 2000 season. Houston finished the nine-game road trip 3-6, failing to score more than four runs in any of the final six games. With Oswalt on the field Astros lost to Miwaukee 4-3 on Sunday, it was his first loss in five starts versus the Brewers. Oswalt is 11-7 with a 3.48 ERA in 21 career starts against them. Milwaukee had won four straight and six of seven before losing 9-3 to the Chicago Cubs on wednesday. Capuano made his longest start of the season last Saturday against the Astros, allowing four runs and four hits in six innings of a 6-4 win. The left-hander walked six, but also struck out six. Capuano is 3-3 with a 4.19 ERA in seven career starts against the Astros. Chris Capuano is 3-0 3,68 ERA this season in 22 innings pitched, Roy Oswalt is 3-1 3,34 ERA this season in 35 innings pitched. The Houston Astros are only 1-5 against the lefties, and the true odd should have been Brew Crew +110 no way more then that. Brewers are 6-2 in their last 8 games as an underdog. Brewers are 7-1 in Capuano's last 8 starts as an underdog of +151 to +200. Lots of reasons...i'm going with Capuano in this one. Stick around i have two to add!
Score: Brewers 4 Astros 3
Play: Milwaukee Brewers +152 (3.3/5)
