Nationals vs Reds MLB Betting Preview
Getting even money on James Wood to go over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI seems like a big mistake by the books.
Reds starter Nick Martinez has been hit well by left-handed batters this year while Wood has been the Nats' best bat against right-handed pitching.
Wood has a solid lineup spot with C.J. Abrams ahead of him to get on base and score, and a few bats behind him that can get him in should he get on base.
Wood also has more than enough pop to hit one out of the yard with a big ballpark upgrade at Great American Ball Park.
I would play this to -115.
Pick: James Wood Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (Play to -115)
