Best bets on the board (other than fading the Yanks and Bosox who are ridiculously overpriced today as always) I think are Houston at +170 (pinny) and the under 8 for that game.

St. Louis has not been playing well lately, probably because they clinched so early. LaRussa might even begin sitting people to rest them for the playoffs. Backe has been good, and Houston has won 8 of his last 10 starts. Carpenter is of course awesome, but has definitely not been the same over his last 3 starts compared to the rest of the year. +170 looks like a good price for HOU that has something to play for.

On the O/U looks good too, considering the O/U track record of these teams. I like the ML more than the O/U, but I like both.
