Oswalt's ERA is 0.45 over his last three starts and he is 3-0

He's given up only 13 hits in 19 innings. I just about broke my keyboard and mouse getting this bet down as fast as possible just now. The Dodgers are so bad right now...this is a total mismatch

+103 looks to good to be true though.

Dodgers are averaging 1.9 runs per game over the last 10. It really is this good. If you got it at +103, that's awesome. I could only get -105. It will be -120 to -130 right before start.

Actually Oswalt has better stats than what you shown. He has only given up 2 ER in his last 4 and is 4-0. He has gone 25 IP with only 20 H, 6 BB, and 1 HR. He has been exceptionally.. that being said.. and how unbelievable he is pitching, this line should be NO WHERE near even money Seems very sketchy. I will have to look more into it before I decide to have a no play on it.

But, before this current winning streak...The Astros lost his previous five starts on the road I believe. Just saying...the line is pretty fair in my opinion.

Yeah I agree, line is pretty close IMO. Don't forget that even though his record doesn't reflect it of late, Billingsley has been no slouch either. Got a feeling it won't be easy to come in their park and beat them with him throwing.

+100 right now.
I trust Oswalt, don't trust his 'pen.
No play here, g/l to all.

i was at the cubs game, and he was on his stuff. i'm a cubs fan and i was impressed.

ouch

my guys were fooled

Don't mean to be a knowitall...but guess that will have to be the case here...i'l stand by it regardless....Oswalt is the real deal but this line is a trap...its one of those games that looks real good up until the game starts and its a whole different story....Gotta good feel for this Dodger team, Ive been money with this team for the last 3 weeks...Billingsley is solid and even though they can't score...that Houston pen will take care of that problem....I'd stay away from the Total too as under is the obvious play...too obvious....Dodgers or lay off....

-120 or -130??? You must not bet alot?? Was hoping for this kind of square post and alot of Oswalt love. Hope you and your buddies unload on this easy play. It's still +104 at Pinnacle, go buy some more please. -120 or -130 in LA?? Give me a break, go look at Oswalt's road stats and tell me if you find a reason to break your keyboard and mouse??

Agreed. I said the same thing earlier that the line is way off and people will unload on Houston and lose. I will prolly stay away from the game.. but if I ventured into it.. it would be the home team.

Hey Russell stop trying to act like you know what the fuck is going on. You are just another moron who thinks there are trap lines.

LOL. I never even tried to make a system and I don't make new records every week. But you can stick to making your pointless little comments about people being fucking morons.. or ripping on 5-Star for being a homer.. last time I checked he is having a good season. So like I said before.. eat shit because you are.. no lie.. a loser. You could never post here again and NOT ONE PERSON would miss you.

I don't know about sportsbook "traps", hook lines, blah blah blah...

I look at the matchup on the field. Here's what I see:

-A Dodgers team that got beat 12-2 last night by the lowly Cards, has to travel back to LA sporting a 2-8 record over the last 10, averaging 1.9 runs (last 10), against a guy gunning to go 5-0 in his last five starts.

-I expect Billingsley to pitch great for the Dodgers and for this to be a low-scoring game. In that scenario, who do you think is going to win: the team averaging 1.9 or the one averaging 5.9 (last 10 for 'Stros). These teams have had one series against each other this year (when the Dodgers were hot) and the Astros still took the series 2-1.

Quote yesterday from Dodgers manager:
"...there are too many people in our lineup who are underachieving."

I agree. And I'll cash it.:money8:

But you keep on keeping it "sharp". I'll keep it real.

Thats the difference between me and you. You need the praise of other posters. I could care less what other posters think of me. Look at you trying to get everyone to like you and be your friend. I'm not the loser trying to make friends on the internet kiddo.

Suedehead.. that 0.1 IP @ Washington for him 5 games ago doesn't count as a win for him.
