Monday at +132 might be it.
This kid is going to be special. His surface stats may not look that great, but he's getting there and was outstanding in his last start (at Coors).
There are a few problems here, though. Strasburg hasn't exactly had the hot hand, and I'm never big on fading aces when they're a wounded animal backed into a corner. Nats started hitting in the StL series, and the Braves are coming off an awful series at Detroit. Plus, they're +132 at home against a team they've owned with the superior record? Stras hasn't been good in his career vs. Atlanta. Line doesn't exactly instill confidence.
Thoughts?
