    Wandy/Roy pitch well, Hampton/Ortiz give up 5+ runs in 4 IP or less.

    I always count the Astros out if they're against a high strikeout rate pitcher like Kershaw or Billingsley. Our team is a bunch of free-swingers. :(

    That is no way to look at it. Can't you at least give Oswalt the benefit of the doubt?

    Hampton will pitch relatively well, but Kershaw will mow us down..

    3 out of 4, no worse than a split.

    Wandy continues his masterful form tonight. W

    Billingsley and Oswalt will be a duel. Push

    First time we saw Kershaw, I thought the offense handled him pretty well. Unless I'm mistaken, we did knock him for a bit of a loop. Then I almost forgot that we're countering with Mike Hampton. L

    Ortiz vs. Kuroda to wrap it up.... I'll go with a win. Hopefully Russ has put those last two abysmal outings behind him.

    LWWL...

    Wandy might have some issues tonight but still think he goes 6 strong just not enough vs the WOLFPAC!

    Roy will take care of business

    Hampton will rebound and give us 6 quality

    Russ will pitch his last game as a starter on Sunday...

    Key will be getting into there bullpen and making them pay for there injury issues.

    Oswalt will probably bring it, but Billingsley mowed us down earlier this year, has done well against us in the past, and this is likely the game that our bullpen blows...

    Check this offense's history against Billingsley.

    The team this year has a handful of quality wins against quality teams--but they have a bigger handful of ass-kickings from quality teams.

    Of course, I can't wait until they prove me wrong!
