(923) Houston Astros at (924) Washington Nationals
The Houston Astros are just (6-14) for the season and have been one of the biggest money burners across MLB, down just under (-10 units) already on the season. Justin Verlander makes his season debut, likely part of the reason for the expensive road favorite price. Although, the veteran righty made two starts in the minor leagues and got rocked in each, giving up 14 runs over just 7 innings. Averaging giving up two hits per inning facing AA and AAA lineups.
The Nationals are playing some of their best baseball in a long time. Straight off of winning two of three against the mighty Dodgers, notable (+200 and +300) underdog tickets cashed this past week, making the case this squad is being underpriced in the betting markets. We are listing Washington starter MacKenzie Gore who has been great, pitching to the tune of a sub 3 ERA through his first three starts. Also, off of an impressive 11/1 strikeout to walk performance last time out. Teeing us up for the home dog barking in our nations capitol Friday night. Bet Nationals (+150).
