Default 50NL: Implied odds/hand reading: Call flop?

Table is full of loose-passives and there are commonly 4-5 players to the flop.


$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
8 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG (<font color="#0000cc">$19.50</font>)
UTG+1 (<font color="#0000cc">$30.50</font>)
MP1 (<font color="#0000cc">$37.55</font>)
MP2 (<font color="#0000cc">$20.00</font>)
CO (<font color="#0000cc">$48.00</font>)
Hero (<font color="#0000cc">$51.50</font>)
SB (<font color="#0000cc">$22.00</font>)
BB (<font color="#0000cc">$16.15</font>)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 8 players) Hero is BTN T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#777777">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls $0.5, MP2 calls $0.5, <font color="#777777">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.5, SB calls $0.25, BB checks


I raise/limp here 50/50 and lean towards limping here since in all likelihood, pot will still be multiway.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($2.5, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets $1.5</font>,<font color="#777777">Hero ?</font>

My question is, given the way the table's been playing, is a call here +EV? I'm expecting at least one call behind me and if an 8 comes off, I can do some serious damage to 2pair hands and possibly, lower straights.

I know this isn't really a standard hand posting, but I guess I don't want to be leaving money at the table when a profitable (but unlikely) situation arises.
