PITTSBURGH (K.Wells) +220 HOUSTON (Clemens)
Roger Clemens has made a smooth transition to the
NL, but he's not going to win 'em all, and Pittsburgh's
standout righthander Kip Wells (2.97 ERA) is more than
capable of making this a close low scoring affair. So far
the Astros have not distinguished themselves in home
games vs. righthanders (-$450) while the Pirates have
posted a very respectable +$550 as a visitor. Houston is
playing well but we continue to hold that they are wildly
overpriced. Tonight's game is another prime example.
