Dodgers vs Nationals MLB Betting Preview
Our own Sean Zerillo projects nearly 10.6 runs for Saturday's Dodgers-Nationals game, yet the consensus line is still sitting around 9.5. That means we're showing a nearly 6% edge against the market on the Over.

Dodgers vs Nationals Picks
Zerillo posted on the Action App that he would play this Over at 10 (-110) or better, so I will do the same.
After a sluggish start, the Dodgers' offense finally broke out against Miles Mikolas on Friday, dropping 13 runs in a seven-run victory.
Behind nearly perfect weather in D.C. on Saturday (mid-80 degree temperatures, double-digit winds straight out toward center), I'm hoping for continued positive regression for one of the best lineups in baseball.
At the same time, the Nationals dropped a few runs late on the Dodgers' bullpen, a unit I don't entirely trust. I'm hoping the same happens on Saturday.
Pick: Over 10 (-110 or Better)
