I think I am going to just fade Hou from here until the regular season starts, only one win for them so far, and I have bet against them a couple times already:

I'll track all the plays in here:

Det -115 4 units

while I have won betting against them, I was also on FLA when they got their one win, here's to hoping we get a few wins before they get their next one.

I know they have been brutal thus far but be careful.

Manager Cecil Cooper is ready to blow up as he is tired of the lack of wins(just 1).
Pitching has been good as the hitting just has not been there.

This team may try a little harder than some other team just to get the manager to settle down.
Also if Puerto Rico losses tonight then Pudge will be in camp in the next day or two and a new face may get them going.

You may have jumped on this ship a little late.

I am going to play them against them today although NYY did play a night game last night and coming back early today, need to see if everyone is making the trip or not, although Hampton is pitching for Hou so that's good enough for me

NYY -115 4 units

Yanks are the play with those odds. Hampton has been up and down this spring as he either goes 4 innings with no runs or 4 innings and gets roughed up.2 shutout outings and 2 outings where he was hit hard and gave up 3 in each.

Astros had a press conference to announce Aaron Boone is out for the season this morning with a heart condition that will require surgery. Most of the team was at the conference and they said it was emotionally draining.

Hampton not the reason for Astros struggles though. These are:
Carlos Lee is 1 for 20 .050
Leadoff man Bourn is 8-43 .186
2B Kaz Matasui is 2 for 37 .054
3B Blum is 2 for 29 .069
Pence is 10 for 42 .238 with 2 hr and ONLY 2 rbis.
Catchers are 2 for 15 .133 and 4 for 24 .167

Only Tejada(.313) and Berkman(.286) are having so so spring.

These are your regular starters until Pudge is inserted so now you see why they have 1 win this spring.

ask and you shall receive, 2 runs for the Yanks in the top of the 7th. Now just keep those astros bats silent for 3 more innings.

If Hampton played a position he would be their third hitter. Blum is your starting 3b this season?

Well Blum/Boone was to be the platoon.
Now it will be 3B by committee with a revolving rotation of:
Blum
Chris Johnson(good spring)
Jason Smith(great spring and has been in out mlb for years Royals recently)
Maybe even Tejada and Pudge will see some time.

Anyway you slice this it equals bad 3B play.
Lost Wiggington and Loretta from last season.
