STL should win Game 1, though the line is still inflated. But regardless, I think Backe beats Marquis in Game 2. I've been watching film of Marquis in his last several games, he has a classic case of DEAD ARM. It's very obvious. That will be my biggest game wager of the series. Wonder if I'll get +200. Oh my, that would be sweet. I'll also hone in on Houston team total over.
Having a good eye for pitchers' dead arm is my favorite baseball capping method. And this is a real real good spot going against a potent lineup. Houston should smack him around like a pinata like they did to Wright, who also had a dead arm. They really should have scored more on Wright too.
