There's an early game that has caught my eye. I think the value is with the favorite this time.
Astros (Oswalt) -$1.30 at Nationals (Olsen)
Analysis: I'll lay this short price with Astros ace Roy Oswalt against the Nationals' Scott Olsen.The southpaw Olsen has a 6.08 ERA this season. He's never fulfilled his early promise he showed with Florida. The Nationals are a sloppy fielding team and have one of the worst bullpens in baseball. Right now their co-closers are journeymen Julian Taverez and Kip Wells.The Astros have the right-handed bats to take advantage of the erratic Olsen and get into the Nationals' sad sack bullpen. Washington is 5-11 in its last 16 as a home 'dog.Houston has won 14 of the past 19 games Oswalt has started. Oswalt is 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA in 10 career games versus the Nationals, including 1-0 with a 0.55 ERA in four games at Washington D.C.

I'm having a disappointing NBA playoff season after my best regular-season ever, but my totals still have been doing well. I nailed my lone total last night pushing my record to 34-18-1 on my past 53 over/unders. I have a strong totals play going tonight.
Thanks and best of luck.
