Tuesday's Play--It Goes Early !!

well I finally finally won another game last night hitting the UNDER (that's right, the under) in the Cubs/Giants. Still having a crappy year, although I am 3-2 since the switch to the Field of Dreams avatar and signature.

For Tuesday I am coming right back with another under. What the hell--gotta stick with what works, right ?

I like under 8.5 in the Astros/Nationals. Here's why:

The Astros start Roy Oswalt. He is 0-2 on the year but with a 3.82 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP and a .282 batting average against. Over his last 3 starts his ERA is 3.21. For his career against the Nats he is 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA and a 0.865 WHIP. Over the past 3 years at RFK Stadium his ERA is 1.23 and his batting average against is .087.

The Nats start Scott Olsen. He is a crappy 1-3 on the year with a 6.08 ERA, a 1.73 WHIP and a .313 batting average against. Hardly numbers that would inspire an under play. BUT, his ERA over his past 3 starts is only 2.50. At home this year his ERA is 2.57 and his batting average against is .214. For his career against the Astros (all over the past 3 years), he is 3-0 with a 3.20 ERA, a 1.068 WHIP and a batting average against of .211.

The pens are tired from last night's score-fest. Both starters know they must pitch deep today. They will. The Astros are 3-10 to the under this year when the total is between 8 and 8.5.

I see a 4-1 game here.

Tuesday's play is under 8.5 runs in the Astros/Nationals.

thanks Fats, and Cap'n.

Not going to be around later this morning so I won't be able to post what line I got until this afternoon. I am sure it will be 8.5, the question will be whether I am laying any juice or not.

Good luck fellas.
