THE HOT CORNER
[MAL VAN VALKENBURG REVIEW-JOURNAL, 44-35-4 (overall record)]
Today's best bet: Detroit Tigers-HOUSTON ASTROS (under 81/2)
You have two pitchers who are pitching well. Detroit's Edwin Jackson has gone under the total in six of his last seven starts, and Russ Ortiz has gone under the total in his last three starts.
