After a sleepless night of drinking { coffee }I have decided to go with the Red over the Astros. Why ? Mainly, I think Reds have a big advantage in the pitching matchup and you get + 102 on the home team. Backe has an era of 5.63 but on the road He has a era of 10.63 So far He doesn't seem to be able to pitch on the road. In his last 2 starts, He shut out the Cubs at home but in the return matchup at Wrigley, He gave up 9 hits and 7 earned runs in only 3 innings.Red's Harang has a era of 4.14 but He has been pitching much better of late with his last start being a 3 hit complete game shutout of St Louis ! Good luck everyone !
