Houston line too low?

Houston is currently -130

HAMPTON is 12-1 when starting against PITTSBURGH with an ERA of 1.71 and a WHIP of 0.952.
His team's record is 12-2 (+9.0 units) in these starts.
He also has 6 shutouts vs. Pittsburgh

Does this line seem to low considering the great success that Hampton has had against Pittsburgh?

Thoughts?

Trap line?

well PiT is the better team in the standings, maybe that has something to do with the line, not just the pitching match up. GL

spoton...........

line is a bit low IMO but not worthy of calling it a trap line. the astros are not a great team and despite the great numbers against pittsburgh the line is probably an accurate reflection of public opinion. love looking for those slightly "off" lines just as you are. best of luck with this strategy going forward............

10 of those 12 wins are from the years between 1997 and 2003

Hampton was a much better pitcher then and playing for a much better team

Nevertheless he's done well against Pitt in 2009 2-0
