Astros Line ?

why has it dropped from -140 to -114 ???

The total has held at 8, but there's got to be a reason for that kind of movement against Roy Oswalt at home (with IAN KENNEDY on the other side to boot) !

Anyone know ?

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Kieth I have read everything I can and cant seem to see anything we dont already know. Oswalt gets no run support, Astros cant score runs, and Dbacks are the top scoring team in NL this season. I would think books would want a -150+ on Oswalt cause he seems like a public play, but to get him this cheap its just a head scratcher, though Kenndy has been pretty good this yr cant wait to see what happens really

I hear you BK. That's one of the reasons I like the under. But wasn't that factored into the opening line of -140 ??

lets not forget that D-Backs offense was helped immensely in Chi-town this past week with hurricane force winds

Roy Oswalt 2-3 2.73 on the season and 9-1 1.96 in 11 starts against the D-Backs in his career.

Ian Kennedy 1-1 4.45 this season and 0-0 0.00 against the Stros.

Houston is 3-4 L7 in Houston against the D-Backs going back a couple years while Oswalt is 2-0 in that same 7 game span. I am not sure why the line would drop that much as Houston has the edge in this game but I know Houston can't score alot of runs but they shouldn't need many if Oswalt is on top of his game.

GO STROS

Did Oswalt just take him down 12 pitches then single to right with 2 outs? That guy is good!
