Nationals vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
Nationals vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
By Derek Carty
There is a value opportunity on Jacob Lopez's walks allowed prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 1.48 walks allowed, while oddsmakers are implying 1.96. The model believes there is a 56% chance that he records fewer than 2 walks allowed, so there is value on the under at +155. This play is good down to at least -103. The 2.5 at -190 on DraftKings and Caesars is also a good bet; I just prefer the 1.5 if you have the option.
Pick: Jacob Lopez Under 1.5 Walks Allowed (+155, bet365)
