Washington at New York

Washington is 8-8 over the last 16 games, winning as underdogs of +140, +135, +140, +165, +125, +145, +115, and +165. The Nationals decided not to trade their best pitcher, MacKenzie Gore, but to build around him, and Gore gets the nod today against Luis Gil. The Nats' lefty has 170 strikeouts in 142+ innings this year, along with a 3.59 ERA on the road. New York has lost three of five, including defeats as favorites of -210 and -150. Batters are hitting .271 off starter Gil (4.26 ERA), and the bullpen is 23rd in ERA (4.36). Play Washington at a nice price.
