Have to hop on this opener - I have fair odds closer to u4.5 -115. Blanco under in 2/3 (and his over was his no hitter). Average K numbers in his MLB career so far, and this is a below avg opponent for him. The Nats have kept 11/12 righties under this line (one miss was Hunter Greene), with the 10th lowest K% vs righties and the 2nd lowest CSW% overall.

Over 8.5-125
