Hou +104 x 3. Not sure why the love for Atlanta is so strong. I respect the team, but its still a very young baseball team. Sure Chipper and Andrew have playoff experience, but this team is full of young players who haven't been on a big stage much. Not much to argue with Hudsons numbers against the stros as they are very impressive. But Pettite hasn't been that bad against Atlanta posting a 4-1 career record with a 3.5 ERA. I'd be surprised to see more than 5 runs put up in this game. Real surprised, but I don't play postseason totals so I'll take a pass, just a personal reason. Andy Pettite has given up more than 5 hits just once in his past 7 starts. This game should be really low scoring. If I thought it would be a shootout, no question I would take the Bravos as their bats are better. Give me the guys who have played 15 years and know this is their shot. Give me Andy in a meaningful game, in what should be his last playoff run. Once again, I think this series splits first two, so if lose this back on em next game. I think Houston can squeak one out 2-1.
pass on CWS/Red Sox ugly game. Will the real Buerhle please stand up? No clue if he will or won't and don't want to try and guess.
Angels -124 x 4. I really like Wang. He was real good before the injury. But I like Lackey better. This guy is flat out nails in the postseason. He walks a lot of batters, but has the stuff and mentalitliy to pitch out of it. Yanks were debating real hard between Wang and Chacon for this start heading into postseason. They went with Wang and everyone thinks that its because they think he's better, but I think its because they want Chacon in game 4 more. They trust him more in a big game. I can't see Angels falling 0-2 although its certainly possible. I think Yanks get both games in New York, but I don't see Angels getting swept. Not with Lackey on the mound. Unfortunately this might be a really popular play and I've already seen a ton of kindergartner posts across the net. But so be it. Square plays win 50% of the time, so its hip to be square on this one tonight.
