5-Star Washington +160 over Philadelphia -- This is a very interesting situation. The Phillies have won Myers' last two starts and the Nationals have lost Ortiz's last two starts. HOWEVER, the Phillies are 13-20 as a FAVORITE when they won the last two games their starter started and the Nationals are 9-1 as a HOME DOG when they lost the last two games their starter started.
The last time Myers faced the Nats, Philadelphia came out on top 10-6. But, the Phillies are 4-9 as a favorite when they won the last time they faced this starting pitcher.
Yesterday, the Phillies had a one-game series vs the Astros and lost 5-4, despite the fact that they led 4-2. These types of results have been debilitating to the Phils. Philadelphia is bankroll-busting 25-46 when they are off a loss in which they held the lead and 4-12 in the first game of a series when they are off a one run loss.<br>
Washington is off a 7-3 win over the Mets and this will inspire them as they are 16-6 as a home dog after a win and it is the first game of the series and a bankroll-building 36-17 at home when they are off a win in which they came back from a deficit. Grab the big price. It's not a sure thing, but playing favorites such as this one is a sure way to burn your bankroll.
