Washington NationalsvsTampa Bay Rays
WSH 4/TB 3
The Washington Nationals, hanging around at 39-37, head down to Tropicana Field to take on a Tampa Bay Rays squad that's been one of the better stories in the AL this year at 42-30. Vegas has the Rays as modest favorites at -122, which tells you this isn't a mismatch — the Nationals have enough in the heart of the order to keep any bullpen honest.
The over-under sitting at 8.5 suggests the books expect some run-scoring, so if either starter gets knocked around early, expect the managers going to the pen before the sixth. Bold prediction: this one goes to extras, the Rays get a walk-off, and everyone at the watercooler pretends they saw it coming.
