The Nats, the poster child for a team that has accomplished so much in the media and so little on the field are 1-4 for -4.5 units. The Phillies are 44-20 in the series including 7-1 recently. For what it is worth, this is actually not inside our early season underdog parameter, but we did run several inquiries to see if a team with a much better record but such a huge underdog was good or bad either way. Most give a slight edge to the Phillies, but most importantly I wanted to make sure history did not say regression to the mean would begin.

That Nats bats are non-existent and no way they should be such a big road chalk.
