I hear Thome and Bell will be back for the Phillies today. I would still lean towards the astros. Oswalt is back in great form and I really like their closer.

The dude is right! Listen to the dude! They are a scary bet at any point. Though the Stros aren't any better and have been brutal as favs this year. Way overvalued. Good luck!
FYI:
RECENT TRENDS
• HOU is 8-2 in Oswalt's last 10 starts.
• Over is 6-1 in HOU last seven road games.
• Astros are 3-8 in their last 11 overall.
• Under is 4-0-1 in Wolf's last five starts vs. HOU.
• PHI is 3-7 in their last 10 overall.
• Home team is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.
I wouldn't bet the Stros as the chalk even if the game was final. Especially on the road and especially when the opposition has a decent pitcher going. Houston isn't playing bad, their a bad team, period. Pass.
