Astros To Birds: Thanks For The Crab-Cakes! We Came, We Saw, We Ate, We Kicked Ass, We Left!

Baltimore’s quest to crown themselves as the new American League Dream Team of the future ran into a snag: the Champion Houston Astros.

The entire ESPN brain-dead sports media bunch had already determined this is now the Orioles world, and we’re all living in it.

Apparently, the champs missed the memo.

The Astros came to town fresh off savoring last year’s World Series victory at the White House and are now about to finish and old-fashioned ass-whupping of the new bully on the block.

In the words of infamous football coach Tom Coughlin: “Talk is cheap. Play the game.”

The Astros sent a message to Baltimore and the rest of the American League: the road to World Series still goes through Houston.

We went 2-1 yesterday, winning + $50 and trimming our annual deficit down to minus -$175. Winning beats losing!

So let’s go for it today!

Houston (-115) at Birds

I’m going for the sweep with Hunter Brown on the bump. See you around, birdies!

Pick: Houston (-115)

Twinkies (-160) at Detroit

Kenta Maeda has pitched very well on the road this season: ERA 3.16. He’s been very good in his last five starts, with opponents hitting just .198 against him. The Twins need a split in Detroit to avoid the laughing stock status of a phony first place club.

By the way, the Tigers couldn’t solve Maeda earlier this season, hitting .176 off him. Just FYI.

Pick: Twinkies (-160)

Atlanta (-190) at Pittsburgh

The Braves won last night’s game, but unfortunately didn’t cover the -1.5. run line I bet. Ugh. It’s super rare we play the run-line instead of laying the full chalk, and it came back to bite me in the butt.

Ok, so Pittsburgh covered the run line last night and cost me -$150. Yawn. Atlanta wants to win this game and get out of town. The Pirates are a sinking ship. Burn it down and get out of town.

Pick: Atlanta (-190)
