He's hotter than Jennifer Aniston making the books more loopy than Whoopi Goldberg. OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Handicapper Matt Rivers has a winner Wednesday is on the Washington Nationals laying 122 at Cincinnati according to Bet Guardian.
It's really tough to lay money on the road with Washington, even with Stephen Strasburg, and that's why it's not a pay play but in a small play I'll eat a little chalk with the Nationals.
Bronson Arroyo has been very good of late and especially in his last three outings and the Reds are overall a better team than the Nats but Strasburg is quite possibly the best pitcher on this planet and not even comparable to Arroyo. The Washington right-hander is basically in the Hall of Fame right now and has done nothing to offset that future on the mound.
I'm not saying that Arroyo can't hold his own and keep the superior team in the game but Strasburg is a total phenom and at this price why not? He is special and special pitchers laying small prices, even on the highway, can't be a terrible play.
The Washington right-hander was laying a similar price last week in Florida and came through like a charm as he combined with relievers for the shutout. Asking for a complete game shutout is a bit much considering the Nationals brass apparently is not wanting their superstar hurler to go North of 6 or 7 innings and that leaves a little up to our bullpen but all in all Strasburg laying a small price even to Votto, Philips, Gomes and the quality Reds is my play tonight.
We'll probably need a bomb from Dunn or Zimmerman but in the end I'm backing the spunky Nats here at the Great American Ballpark.
