Arizona at Washington

The Washington Nationals are rolling, having won eight straight games, but all that has done is push the line in favor of the dog here. Most that wager on games tend to look at a team that is streaking, and will load up on them, so the oddsmakers make them pay the price. A quick look at a team on an eight game winning streak shows that there is no validity to them making it nine straight. These teams play to inflated lines, and overall they have a losing record at 69-75, and playing on them would result in -14.0% ROI. The wise choice is playing on the dog, which results in +12.3% ROI over the last decade. Arizona is also 6-1 behind Cahill if he is off a quality start in his last outing, and Arizona has been 4-1 in their last five after dropping the first two games of a series. This dog has some legs and surely some line value, so make the play on Arizona.
