It's certainly no bad bet going with Edinson Volquez against the usually Dead Bat Astros, but I caution you to keep it to a minimum, as he'll be facing my boy LUCAS HARRELL, who has really blossomed this year, just as I predicted before the season, and I believe he'll continue his roll as these next several weeks go by. He actually recorded his first career shut out against these same Padres only a few weeks ago, and while the Law of Averages basically guarantees that a middle-of-the-rotation guy like Lucas Harrell does not repeat that same feat against the same team so shortly after, it still could be tough beating him, as good as Volquez can be.
GL with your bet though. I'm on the under of 6.5 (Vegas setting the line at 6.5 instead of 7, with these two pitchers and parameters, also indicates they think it will be an under as well), which I do recommend.
For you, varkeyboy, I hope the Padres win 3-1
