Chip's 'Top-Rated' Megabucks Winner (Nats/Dodgers)
(MLB) Washington vs. LA Dodgers,
Money Line: 108.00 LA Dodgers (Home)
Result: Win
Washington at L.A. Dodgers 9:10 ET
Dodgers over Nationals- Despite being the heavy favorite in the NL East I just don't believe in the Washington Nationals. Sure, their front line pitching is superb, starting Max Scherzer last night and Steven Strasberg (2-1, 3.08 ERA) tonight but I just don't think they are that good overall. Their defense is weak and their lineup has holes and their relief pitching leaves much to be desired. But, they do have Bryce Harper and when healthy Daniel Murphy they can hurt you, but you can keep the rest of it. Struggling Los Angeles will counter with Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-0, 2.87) who has struck out 17 in his last 12 innings of work holding opponents to a .164 batting average with a 0.96 WHIP. Take the DODGERS!
