Rapid Writeup
Houston @ Colorado -130 / 14.5O20
Let's attack this one backwards and look at the total first as it jumps out at you. Not only is it 14.5, but you get plus money for taking under suck a huge number. File this under looks to good to be true.
Trends on the pitchers would have you believe over...
Chacon
2-0 o/u last 2 starts
Reynolds
3-0 o/u last 3 starts
2-0 o/u last 2 road starts
0-3 o/u @ Colorado since 96 (except one
)
Weather looks horrible with a chance of T-storms in the area is always a good sign for the under if the game is shortened.

the wind will be from the east / south east at 10 mph and below which is not good for under backers
when the wind is from the east the O/U is 4-2, and south east is worse as that is out of the stadium and the O/U is 8/5 (6/3 when the wind is below 10 mph.
Joyce behind the plate is a slight Over ump at O/U 59/51 in the last five years and his data is limited vs a higher number like 14.5
In a hitters park the ump has less of an affect on the total outcome, but the weather plays a significant role and the weather says over. The under looks to good to be true and it just may be.
Pass on the total
There is no need to tell me how bad the astros are on the road vs. the NL west because I know the numbers however I think they have the value in this one tonight as a very live dog. Reynolds has been pitching well of late and usually can control the rockies (LT:4-2, 3.69) I think the first look at Chacon tonight will be a good one, and I think the astro's steal one here.
Houston +120 Listed
hope it helps
