The Astros are 5-22 on the road and the Mets are 20-11 at home. In addition, Pedro is throwing for NY tonight. Thinking about the Mets -1.5 +140. Any opinions? Thanks guys and GLTA.
Seems like a lot of peeps like them here so that is the only thing that worries me...could be one of those situations when everything looks and points in one direction but it just goes the opposite just because everyone is on them. Of course that could happen with any game in any sport. I would still stick with the Mets if I were taking the game.
I wouldn't bet the Mets on the RL for this reason. In 4 of Oswalt's last 5 away starts, the Astros gave up 3 or less runs. His ERA in these 5 is 3.78, compared with Pedro's 2.83 ERA in his last 5 home starts.
I think the Mets will win, but I wouldn't bet the RL.

That was the one stat holding me back from taking a shot at the RL, but I do love the +140. I may either pass or just bite the bullet and lay the juice with Pedro. Thanks for your opinions everyone and good luck tonight.
