ASTROS(Norris) +100 over Florida(Nolasco)---------Both offenses are about equal, statistically. Both pitchers got hit by their respective opponents last time out(Nolasco got killed). Marlins offense IS crushing but the trend with Norris is that when he starts, the Astros win. (Lose 6-2)

PADRES(Carrillo) +180 over Cubs(Dempster)--------Carrillo has the pitcher revenge against his 1st and only start this year(it was bad). At this price, I think you can give him another chance. Altho the Padres have scored more than 4 runs in a game only 6 times in the month of August(not impressive) and their offense has been very weak, Dempster is not special this year. Last year, he was; this year, no.(Win 6-3)
