    Sports books are taking over/under bets on Astros hitters being hit by pitches this season.

    Sportsbooks expect Astros hitters to be targeted often this season

    On Monday, sportsbook William Hill set the over/under on number of Astros batters to get plunked this season at 83.5. In the past five seasons, only nine teams have been hit by pitches more than 83.5 times, but, with the anger over the sign-stealing scandal involving Houston, there is plenty of reason to believe the Astros will be targeted frequently.

    I had to laugh at this:

    Enough opposing players and managers have expressed their displeasure with the Astros that new Houston manager Dusty Baker has publicly urged MLB to protect Astros hitters from intentionally being beaned. "I'm depending on the league to try to put a stop to this seemingly premeditated retaliation that I'm hearing about," Baker told reporters Saturday. "And in most instances in life, you get kind of reprimanded when you have premeditated anything. I'm just hoping that the league puts a stop to this before somebody gets hurt."

    Apparently reprimands don't apply to anything that actually affects the outcome of games.

     

    Please be the over.

  2. JD Martinez: Criticism of Astros is a bit much, time to move on.

    Oh, and the commissioner’s punishment was harsh.

    I wonder if this might have something to do with a report that will be coming out next week.
