I did win $509 on the Mansion bet and hedge last night, but for fear of being lynched, it will not be tabulated into my record on this forum. But my Week 2 goal is significantly lower due to the win last night and this will hopefully be the last time I ever mention it here.

Like the Astros today.
Houston Astros -112 -- $112 to win $100
Reasoning:
I am hoping that Sheets won't go too deep into this game, therefore giving the edge to the Astros bullpen over the Brewers bullpen, besides the fact that Oswalt is more capable of going deeper into the game than Sheets anyway. The Astros have ripped Sheets for 7 runs in both of the games Sheets has thrown against Houston, so although I expect that Sheets performance tonight will be more towards his overall mean, I still think the Astros win this game.
If this looks like a loss around 10:00 EST, I may will chase with the Texas Rangers. If the game is close around 10:00, I will have to make a late decision on whether to bet Texas or not because I like them just as much if not more than Houston.
Week 2: 3-1, +$241
Week 1: 5-1, +$913
