Anybody betting this game?

I've got half unit on the under at -110. The astros seem to be going off at or around +135. It's tempting.. if I could find a +140 or more I'd take the Astros.

I didnt see much value here. Or maybe I'm just skittish after Pujols ruined my three unit parlay in game 5.

Am I missing anything?

I am taking the astros, though I don't think there is a lot of value. This is more of a spite bet after the game 5 debacle.

Yeah, it sure seems like the books want people to bet houston.

HOU opened at +130 and the line slowly moved up. Why would you think the books "want" us to bet HOU? Is this like a trap game?

I got a half unit out there too. Cardinals -1 1/2 (+134). I feel a little dirty giving the point and a half up but lord help me I have a gambling problem and I needed just a little action tonight.

StL was the preseason favorite and the in season front runner. This means the books are buried with Cards futures bets. The books score when the Cards are eliminated. Line is whacked and Oswalt isn't this big a dog ever.

This probably belongs in the other sports forum, but has Mulder ever won a big game?

not in the playoffs, unless you consider an early series game to be "big."
