Tuesday, August 11th: Washington Nationals

[JayRow]

In light of Cocknocker being gone... I'd like to offer this pick to everybody, in classic CK style.
Starting Pitcher's Last 3 Whip
Washington: 1.24
Atlanta: 1.47
Advantage: Washington

Bullpen last 3 WHIP:
Washington: 1.25
Atlanta: 1.25
Advantage: Push

Team's Last 3 Slugging %
Washington: .564
Atlanta: .368
Advantage: Washington

Power Ranking:
Washington: +157
Atlanta: -157
Actual Line: Washington +168, Atlanta -178
Advantage: Washington

Also, the line movement is very sexy so far for washington. With only 11% of the public on washington so far, the line has moved from +185 to +168.

In addition, in the past two years, what team in the NL does washington have the most success against, better than any other team? You guessed it. Atlanta, going 16-11 for a .593 winning percentage.

So, the pick is Washington

well im against you. this team should never win 8 games in a row this is a AAA team at best

[ManOfValue]

JayRow , where do you see what % of the public is on one side or the other ?

[Mikail]

I like the nats here as well but I may sit this one out. The Nats winning 9 straight seems insane, but then again who would have guessed they would have an 8 game streak right now

[ManOfValue]

LOL , I bet the Nats on this 8 game winning streak will be the reason most will 1. bet the Braves or 2. stay away...You really can't pay attention to streaks when betting , I found that out.

[ManOfValue]

Such streaks , let me clarify a bit , because I do pay attention to who won the first or second game in a 3 game series to be honest..But its not the same as an 8 game roll..

[Rich Boy]

Nats -1.5 +260 for moi

No, just never bet against a streak to end. Bet with the streak until it loses.

Will,Dunn,zimmerman. AAA? I dont think so

[DMB40]

there team as a whole is AAA. Make more sense to you.

Including their starter tonight, Lannan, right?

[paco]

If this team can get a couple decent pitchers for next season. They will be a very good team

[BestPlay2day]

Great value on the Nationals with Lannan who is a good pitcher. Might put a small play on the Nationals tonight. Even though 6 of those wins came at home and the other 2 was at Pittsburgh, 8 wins in a row is impressive for any team. Wonder how many bettors got burned betting against the Nats saying they can't win 3 in a row, 4 in a row, etc...

[DMB40]

Including their starter tonight, Lannan, right?

lannan is the nationals best pitcher ok but he wouldn't be on the starting rotation of most teams.

[Mc Grumpy33]

Like the Over 8.5 in this one, Nats have been getting most of there runs hitting on RP.....GL to all

[DMB40]

wow i was right and i took atl ML and RL
