Anyone Know Why NY/Expos o/u Went From 7.5 to 9?

Any responses would be appreciated

I'm guessing it has to do with 29 runs being scored yesterday. Too much of a move for me. Its a no play for me

probably the 29 runs and the mets suck but I was just looking at some books like betus.com and they are still at 8.5 -110

Biggest reason - home plate ump, Derryl Cousins, and his incredibly small strikezone.

Md, I show Cousins with 1 over and 4 unders so far this year. last year 17 overs 13 unders. 2002 17-17. His walk to strikeout ratio is around the league norm. Am I missing something? I know you follow these more than I do. Thanks.

TN, actually his walk to strikeout ratio for the LAST 8 YEARS is the HIGHEST in all of baseball (1.52 compared with a league average of 1.93). As I stated in my picks post, don't be fooled by his record this year. 5 games is far too small of a sample to go by. His 8 year record, by the way, is 125-106.
