I see this game going a lot like the ana/bos game last night. one pitcher (oswalt), like pedro solid for most the year, the other pitcher (hampton) like colon has turned it on the last month (1.15 ERA last 5 games). Also like last night, both of these offenses can score at any time. My guess it that a long ball by one of the teams is going to turn this game at some point. this is of course a must win for atl, but I don't know how much stock to put in that given that it is the playoffs and I can't imagine houston being content just taking one of two when they probably have to send backe and munro to the mound in houston.
the first 5 inning under seems good, but 4.5 doesn't give me a warm fuzzy, would love 5. the favorite has won every game this post-season and the man has to be taking a beating....also, every over has cashed (except cy santana) and this total is just sitting at 8.5 just laughing at me, calling me names, and to be honest, just plain hurting my feelings.
I think the man has dialed in on this game, needing some money to pay his child support and alimony and just wants to be paid which is why the line is as close as it is. I know the goal of the man is to get equal play on both sides, but that has not happened, would guess, the first two days. I don't think he cares who wins this game, he is truly looking for equal money so he will at least get something. sportsinsights show 50/50 on o/u and 60/40 on houston....just what the man wants.
I think I may just sit back and enjoy this from the confines of my office, or may throw something down....back later after a little more analysis.
good luck to everyone.
