Washington at Houston

Washington starts rookie Joel Hanrahan. When will this guy start getting some respect? He's given up no more than 3 runs in any start and boasts a 2.95 ERA. His counterpart, Wandy Rodriguez is coming off a bad loss (4 runs in five innings). The Nats, while 38-51 vs. RHP are a .500 ballclub versus southpaws. They dont' score a lot but right now neither is Houston (Astros averaging 3.0 runs per game over their last seven) and we think Hanrahan and a solid Nats bullpen can keep them way down. Washington is 12-5 in their last 17 vs. losing teams so they have a great shot at winning this game and a +150, we'll take that shot.
