5 at Ceasars - 5.5 is fine too if plus money

Over 8-110

Great hitting weather today in DC with the temperature at 83 degrees and winds out to left at 11 miles per hour. Patrick Corbin is starting for the Nats, and while I think the Nats' moneyline is a value, that is still typically a boon for the over. The Rays have plenty of guys who can spank lefties around. Given the weather and Corbin's presence, the over here looks mighty fine.

WSH +220

0.25u

Keeping units low here until I have a larger sample on whether my MLB moneyline is performing well. Available at FanDuel. It's never fun to have money riding on Patrick Corbin, but I've got the Nats' win odds at 36.0%, up from 31.3% implied. Part of this is because my numbers are a bit lower on Shane McClanahan than the market, which could be way off. I don't blame you if you'd rather pass here, but it does grade out as a good value for me.
