    Nationals only - 129 again tomorrow vs Twinkies? What gives?

    You have the second best team in the league facing one of the absolute worst.


    Does Vegas just not believe in the nationals or do they think Minnesota is a lot better than their record? I can't make any sense of this. I figured all the games in this series would be - 200 Nationals

    Did you know that good teams with 100 wins per year still find a way to lose 62 games every year?

    True but it's generally higher winning percentage than that in home games against terrible opponents

    And even at that percentage, this is a decent bet

    Hughes is much better than Roark and Twins are not that bad. I am only on the Under though.

    If you like the Under then Hugs is the play. If he keeps it in the field then they got a good chance...plus its interleague always have to look AL first. Twins are interleague straight killers with 57%ish win rate all time.

    I am not saying there is any value, but Minny is not a bad team. They'll be hovering around .500 at the end of the year.

    Twins are a 75 win team, nats are a 95 win team. Line should be -180 to 200

    TANNER ROARK HAS 12 K'S THROUGH 4+ INNINGS


    The Nationals pitcher has struck out each member of the Twins lineup at least once already this afternoon.

    Vegas doesn't do anything but follow offshore.
