This seems so obvious for San Francisco...

Can anyone out there make a good case for Houston?

No one likes getting their asses kicked and then have their nose rubbed in it !! Ortiz is a tough match up for SF and if they get big headed over yesterday he could shove it up their butts. Tiny Tim is facing a veteran Hou line up that will spank him if he is not sharp and after that ass whipping yesterday they will be focused. This is an average Dog shot. There are better favs today that are not so high priced. TB ATL LAD

I wouldn't try to chase this dog. Ortiz is 0-3 with a 7.46 ERA in seven starts against the Giants, his old team. Plus Houston spanked SF last year 9 games to 1. So it's payback time. The only thing Houston has going for them is they have a winning record in game 2 and 3 of a series.


Giants   -1.5

Hmm. How come so many sensible comments have "Spaceman" at the top?  And so responsive.  Cheers, Assassin

But I do think Arfats wins this argument.  So far.

Timmy has been lights-out. What's he got, 2 complete game shutouts over his past three starts?

This -200 line is a farce.  We are not amused. 

Giants
  -1.5

Funny.  I don't see people talking shit about the Giants anymore.  It would seem they finally learned to STFU.

Thanks Assassin just trying to help anyone who wants it. I would not bet on this game today because going against Tim is not a good idea and for the money its not worth it to bet on him either. It is a long season and emotional ups and downs are a big part of it. Houston is poised to make its run, they are not a weak ass team they will finish 2nd in this division behind the Cubs. I would not want to be the pitcher facing a team of veterans that got humiliated the night before. Tim had better be on.

Well, besides the aforementioned payback angle the spaceman brought up, you could say that Ortiz has been pretty damn solid (except against the Gigantes ironically), so who's to say Houston couldn't win a 1-0, 2-1 pitcher's duel?

But Lincecum has been otherworldly, going on two seasons now, so why do you bet against that, unless you're absolutely convinced that pride is enough for the Stros, or you're just feelin' lucky?

If you are, that number is certainly worth a small gamble, but I like winnin' more, so I'll give the kid his due and either lay off, or include SF in a fun little 3-teamer on the side with LAD and CO.

Good luck all.

Well call me a fool but I have the Dodgers ML and SF RL in a parlay. Yes, I see SF winning on the RL. It may be tight for a while but I see the Giants rewarding their fans on the 4th with another descent win.

Lincecum draws a key walk and Rowand gets a single. Winn needs a hit in the worst way here in the bottom 5th. One out with men on 1st and 2nd. Ahhh, Winn sacrifices anyway. Sandoval comes through with a RBI single and Molina has a chance to extend the lead. YES!! Winn scores on a passed ball!!  Molina singles to center but Sandoval's out at home. Still a great inning as I have SF on the RL!
