Nationals have won 6 out of 7 and they are ripping the cover off the ball. Ballester's last three starts have been MUCH better and he's coming off his first career win. If this game is tight late wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Nationals win it. Another absurd line. Probably won't play the Nationals but the way they are playing right now and this line it would probably be worth a shot. Milwaukee is still a team that has lost 9 of their last 13. Milwaukee in my opinion has to be the MOST overrated team in baseball - even more so than New York Yankees.
big chalk can be dangerous with a guy like peavy because the padres dont hit behind him. big chalk can be dangerous with a guy like harden because he usually turns it over to the bullpen after 6 innings.
but washington ....
.... traveling after playing a double header yesterday
.... facing a pitcher who will go 7 minimum with a strong possibility of 8+
.... and a brewers team that has shown they will hit behind their ace.
makes it tough to consider the nats. very slim chance they win this one.
