🔑 Nationals ML +215 (FanDuel) 1u This value is just wild. Nats are not the white Sox or Rockies, they have some heavy hitters, they should never be +200 even vs an ace. Sprinkling a unit on this.

Framber Valdez is on fire with a 2.67 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, giving Houston a huge edge every time he takes the mound. He’s owned the Nationals in past matchups and comes in red-hot, giving the Astros total control from the first pitch tonight. Brad Lord is an untested rookie with command issues, walking into a nightmare matchup against Houston’s deep lineup. The Astros’ offense ranks among the best at home, while the Nationals struggle to score on the road. This is a major mismatch in both talent and momentum. Houston’s bullpen is absolutely locked in, leading MLB in ERA since the break. Hader and Abreu can shut any rally down late, and the Astros’ offense is consistent and dangerous. Washington simply doesn’t have the arms or bats to keep up with this Astros attack.

F.Valdez o6.5 Ks-122

Have Valdez projected at 7.99 strikeouts. Fewer sinkers recently has helped him up his strikeout rate a couple of percentage points.
