Rockies vs Nationals Pick, Betting Analysis
BARTOLO projects the Rockies for 3.42 runs and the Nationals for 4.31 today, which would bring the total under the line.
One of the main reasons to back this option is Washington SP Cade Cavalli, who's had an outstanding season. Zerillo has him ranked 31st among MLB starters.
Cavalli will face a Colorado lineup that gets no more than a C from BARTOLO in every category.
The Rockies are next-to-last in wRC+ this season with a 90 rating.
Plus, the Nationals are currently on a severe slump, ranking dead last in wRC+ in the past seven days with an appalling 47 rating, while the Rockies are 28th in that same span with 62.
Let's go with the under today.
Pick: Under 8 (-105, BetMGM)
