Nats ML / St. Louis +2.5
+110 odds
Nats hitting well vs lefties this year (3rd best avg in mlb) and coming off a tough loss vs Padres. Strasburg just the guy to get them a W. Cardinals looking to get back on track after a series loss on road to Mets. Consider this - Pirates have not beaten anyone on road this year by more than 1 run! Miller has struggled vs Pirates, but he is a different pitcher at home and Locke is making his 1st start and may be rusty. Can you see Cards losing 3 straight? Not me, but if they do, it shouldn't be by more than 2.
Also taking SF Giants -1 for a nice price (-105)
