Philadelphia Phillies @ Washington Nationals

The classic runline scenario: road favourite, strong pitcher (1.22/2.60 WHIP/ERA: 1.50/1.50 L3) going against a home pitcher who struggles with the lineup (0-10/6.44 career ERA against Philadelphia.)

I'd like to have a bit more offense from the Phils, but I'll Lay the runs.

Pick: Phillies -1.5 @ 2.15

2011 Season (Level Stakes)

38-36 (+3.86pts)

*A note about last night's game: The Giants blew the game in the bottom of the 8th when their shutdown late men imploded (Romo had only allowed nine base runners all season!). I believe it pays to be highly risk averse in baseball betting and locking in profit early; baseball is a long betting slog. Conversely, there's often some nice profits to be had Laying very short prices late on in games.

Last night was a good example.
