*** MONDAY STAR PLAYS ***
**************************************************
MLB PLAYS: 2-2-0 (-$900.00)
5* HOUSTON / PITTSBURGH (UN-7.5)
Houston on the road vs Lefties is 0-4 and avg a dismal 1.38 runs per game. While when both these pitchers take the mound, they are 6-1 on the OVER side. Then why has vegas set the total at 7.5? Trap baby! Pittsburgh vs righthanders at home are 1-4 and avg a measly 3.2 runs per game. Oswalt has only given up 5 earned runs in his last 23 INN. pitched, so with Houston's bats in a funk vs Lefties (.199 BA.), and Pitts Inability to get to Oswalt (4-6 2.89) lifetime, should spell a long night for all hitters combined. Let us not forget O.Perez is due big time in his young unerachieving season. *** 5 UNITS ***

Just noticed that winds are blowing out to left field at 10-15 MPH. No worries though, Houston is 14th in the league in Homers (12) & Pittsburgh is last (16th) with (10)

10 * PITTSBURGH +125
80% of the public is on this game and the line has DROPED in a slight manor. Anything over 78% is a big play with me as long as the line drops.
1* WASHINGTON -108
1* NEW YORK +106
