Seattle Mariners @ Washington Nationals

Rookie pitchers with good numbers going through lineups for the first time are always interesting bets - particularly if they're lefties. However, I like them as dogs, and this righty is a best price 1.84 favourite on the road, against a Nats team who seem to be rolling.

Marquis' splits at home are solid and I like the way the Nats sound about their form of late. The Mariners are 0-5 all-time in Washington and Marquis has done well against them in the past, and that's enough for me to take the home dog.

Pick: Nats @ 2.08
