Houston Astros at San Francisco Giants

At 10:15pm ET our complimentary selection is on the Houston Astros over the San Francisco Giants. You may be surprised to find out that Brian Moehler is alive and well and still has a spot on a Major League roster. You will probably be even more surprised to know that the 36 year old journeyman righthander is not just on the Houston roster, but now has a spot in their rotation. After 42 relief appearances for this team in 2007, which saw Moehler win only one game, but log a very respectable ERA of 4.07, Moehler is back where he has spent most of his professional baseball career - as a starter. And he has earned the right - at least for now - to stay there. It doesn't hurt his cause that Wandy Rodgriguez still has a troublesome groin and continues to spend time on the DL. Nor does it hurt Moehler's cause that the other options for the back end of the Astros rotation right now are Chris Sampson and Brandon Backe, the better of whom has two wins and a 4.64 ERA. Moehler's only start this season was a good one - a five inning shutout against the Dodgers - and it was his first start since September 2006 when he was a member of the Marlins. Tonight looks like another great opportunity for Moehler as he goes against one of the worst teams in the league and a young lefthander in Patrick Misch who has never won a Major League game in his career which spans six starts going back to last August and with his team batting almost .300 against lefties. Take the Astros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

Al McMordie has a HUGE NBA WINNER. And this BIG PLAY is out of 2 angles that are each on a 100% PERFECT, 10-0 ATS RUN. Combined, they're 20-0 ATS! It just doesn't get any better! If you enjoyed Big Al's 5* Winner on the Spurs in Game 3, then you'll love this SUPER STRONG PLAY, as it's his 2nd Best in the Playoffs. Get on it.
