1. Cincy +117
Its not everyday that I think Eric Milton is the guy to bet on, actually never until today. The reds found a team that is completly pitiful against lefties in the houston astros, who right now are terrible against everyone, so I wont let the 4-7 record for cincy vs lefties sway me in comparison to houston's 1-7 mark. Almost thought about the under in this game but I do not trust either of these pitchers to deliver whatsoever, seems like cincy is the better team right now. I believe that gorzellany and maholm of pittsburgh are both lefties, could be wrong on that but if they are cincy slugged out 9 and 8 runs respectively in those games while houston is having trouble just to get three runs across against anyone. Over their last 5 save the 10 run outburst vs the brew crew they only had 3, 2, 1, and 1 run in those games, not enough to win this game especially with wandy rodriguez on the mound. Both pitchers in this game are winless with 4+ ERA's but Milton hasnt faced this team in 2 years while Wandy had one outing vs cincy last season, one to forget going one inning giving up 7 ER and walking 5, probably concerend with the likes of Griffey, Dunn and company. Houston is 2-9 SU over their last 11 and are not worth being a favorite in this game 6-8 as a fav, and 5-8 at home.
