Blue Jays vs Nationals

6:45 ET | Apple+ | Nationals Park

8-Unit Bet on the Under priced at 8.5 runs. I do expect that most books will move to 9 runs prior to the first pitch.

The Washington Nationals will host the Toronto Blue Jays in a three-game inter-league matchup starting tonight. The Blue Jays are priced as -185 favorites with a posted total of 8.5 runs, but the line is moving to 9 runs at Bet Rivers.

The Washington Nationals are one-game under 0.500 which is certainly much better than preseason expectations. They have won five of their last seven games all on the road that included a four-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. They lost to the Texas Rangers but did win second of the three games. The Toronto Blue Jays are underperforming with a 15-17 record because of an anemic offense that is batting 0.224 on the season and scoring only 3.5 runs per game. Moreover, they have lost their last three series and have posted a 3-7 record over their last 10 games.

The market is providing a cheap price to back the Nationals with the ever struggling Patrick Corbin on the bump, who is 0-3 in six starts with a 6.82 ERA and a 1.895 WHIP including 13 walks, 22 strike outs spanning 31 2/3 innings of work. However, in his last home start he went 5 1/3 innings of scoreless three hit baseball against one of the best offenses in MLB the LA Dodgers.

The Blue Jays will have Yusei Kikuchi on the hill and is 2-2 in six starts with a solid 2.94 ERA and a 1.159 WHIP including 36 strike outs spanning 33 2/3 innings of work. He had posted three consecutive quality starts before allowing four earned runs in six innings against the Dodgers.

The following MLB betting algorithm has produced an exceptional 25-11-1 Under good for 70% winning bets  earning a 35% ROI and making the Dime Bettor a $16,720 profit since 2016. The requirements are:

·      Bet the Under when it is priced between 8.5 and 10 runs.

·      The game is an inter-league matchup.

·      The AL team is batting 0.250 or lower on the season.

·      The Al team has batted 0.240 or lower spanning their last 15 games.

·      The NL team is starting a pitcher with an ERA of 5.50 or higher on the season.

·      The NL starter has posted a WHIP of 1.65 or higher on the season.
