I’m on the Nationals Moneyline on the road vs the Pirates for these reasons:

- Mitchell Parker is not the most elite Pitcher, but he doesn’t give up runs (1.96 ERA), is 2-0 in his starts and is going up against that the 3rd most struck out team in the league so far.

- Bailey Falter is looking for his first win after going 0-2, with a 7.20 ERA. He will be going up against a Nationals team that is the 8th least struck out team in the league, top 10 in on base percentage and batting average. Bailey’s prop bet for runs allowed, sits at 2.5 over/under for a reason.

- Pirates have the worst batting average so far this season at .195, averaging only 6.3 hits per game. Vs a hard to hit pitcher like Mitchell Parker, I’ll gladly take the near plus-money on the road team to win 2 in a row.

Official Play: Nationals Moneyline

Side Bet: Mitchell Parker Under 2.5 Runs allowed

Hail Mary: Under 8.5
