Never followed baseball but why are astros only the odds they are to win next game? When theyve won 11 in a row.
Should i get on them to win today?

Pitching matchup, stadium and the fact that many bettors are of the mindset of "they can't win every game - especially on the road" and technically they are right - the question is: Is tonight the night HOU plays an average game?Never followed baseball but why are astros only the odds they are to win next game?

There exists a superstition about a long win streak on a publicly perceived slightly above average team which is they are due to crash. I know HOU is great but many CHI/CLE/LAD/BOS/WAS etc fans think HOU is playing above their real level and should regress - or at least lose a game or two here or there.
People come out of the wood work to bet against a long streak, ("X is DUE!") and looking at all of Houston's starters, tonight is a good night as Keuchel goes tomorrow night and McCullers goes the next day. The line is actually lower than it should be because of the streak, I think.
I believe there is value in betting Houston but 
DAMN this streak might end tonight, they're DUE!

I think that I've seen a couple of sayings.
One was to bet against a team once they've won 10 or more.
The other was to bet against them the first 5 games after they've lost if they have won 10 or more in a row.
IMHO (and I'm a Royals' fan), the Astro's have a better offense and better pitching to continue their streak for at least 3 more games.
