At 8:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Houston Astros over the Milwaukee Brewers. Houston’s veteran righthanded starter Roy Oswalt has made his feelings known and those feelings are that he wants to be traded by the only Major League team he’s ever played for. Oswalt, who is owed $31 Million over the next two years on his current contract, must feel that he is a much better pitcher than his 2-6 record, and indeed his 2.66 ERA (10th in the National League) would seem to indicate that. He obviously wants to play for a winner, and unless about 28 other Major League Teams quit the season right now, that isn’t going to happen with the Astros. So look for Oswalt to have his absolute best stuff on display in his next few starts as some teams with perhaps deeper pockets than others take a close look at the 32-year-old. Meanwhile lefthander Chris Narveson, who recently was awarded the fifth starter spot for Milwaukee is hoping to improve on his previous two home starts, both of which were losses (one against the Pirates and the other against the Phillies) and neither of which lasted past the 6th inning. The Brewers continue to be horrible at home (4-14 heading into Tuesday’s games) and their closer situation is still up in the air. Take the Astros. As always, good luck…Big Al McMordie.
