Chicago Cubs at Washington Nationals

7:05 p.m. ET

Sharp angle: Nationals +116

7:10 p.m. ET

Sharp angle: Tigers +126

If you thought the Nationals were a contrarian play, the Tigers are getting only 18% of bets tonight against the Cards. Despite that, they've been one of the biggest movers on the board, going from +155 to +126 at Pinnacle behind two steam moves.
