I don't see why your play last night with Texas under can't be repeated tonight.

Probably won't be repeated due to Backe and Padilla.

From Sports Network:

"Brandon Backe makes his first start of the year for Houston. Backe, who made 31 starts a season ago and went 9-14 with a 6.05 earned run average, didn't make his first appearance of this year until May 30 because of a strained ribcage muscle.

The 31-year-old right-hander has appeared in four games as a reliever, allowing 12 runs in just nine innings.
Backe is 1-2 with a 7.77 ERA in six games (3 starts) versus the Rangers..."

"Padilla has a 5.73 ERA in six home games, is 2-4 with a 4.44 ERA in 12 games (7 starts) versus the Astros."

I think you should have went with the same bet as last night. No way that one is going over.

You were right.

As far as the DET/STL UNDER, I almost survived a top of the first 4 runs, before 2 solo homers in the eight, dashed all hope.
