ASA top play on 10* Washington Nationals +130 vs. Baltimore Orioles, 7 PM ET - This sets up nicely with a big underdog win on Wednesday with the Nats. Washington is 25th in runs/9 innings scored on the season but 10th in team batting average at .252. The Nationals though have put up 74 runs in their last 14 games or 5.28 runs per game which is 4th highest in baseball. Baltimore can’t say the same as they’ve scored 49 runs in that same span of 14 games and average just 4.23 runs/9 innings which is 21st in MLB. In comparing each team's last ten games we find the Nats are hitting .308 as a team while scoring 5.30 runs/9 innings. The Orioles are putting up just 3.87 runs/9 innings their last ten games and hitting just .220. Baltimore is starting pitcher Alexander Well who is a reliever so it’s going to be a heavy bullpen game for the O’s. Washington will counter with Patrick Corbin who doesn’t have great numbers at first glance with a 6-18 record and 6.30 ERA for the year. Most recently, Corbin has faced a brutally tough schedule which included starts against the Mets and Phillies twice, the Braves and Dodgers who all rank top 6 in runs scored per game. We like the situation here with the home dog.
