Letâs check out the top odds, player prop bets, and game picks for Nationals vs. Rangers.
Top MLB Betting Odds & Picks for Nationals vs. Rangers
The Nationals will pitch Paolo Espino for tonightâs opener against the Rangers. Espino has had a 4.71 xFIP in the last 30 days while walking 9.1 percent of batters. However, heâs escaped damage thanks to a BABIP of .189 and a line drive rate of 15.8 percent.
Still, that .189 BABIP seems pretty unsustainable, knowing Espino has allowed hard contact at about a 45 percent rate in that same 30-day time span.
The Rangers are hitting grounders at a 29.7 percent rate, and line drives at 26.9 percent of the time when facing off against righties in the last 30 days with their projected lineup. Espino is going to struggle in this one.
However, the same could be said about Dane Dunning of the Rangers. Dunning has a 4.84 xFIP with low strikeouts and high walks. Heâs also struggled against lefties, giving up a .401 wOBA and ISO of .221 against his last 83 lefties faced. The Nationals will likely have six lefties in the lineup, including Juan Soto and Josh Bell.
Iâm grabbing the Over 9 in this one.
Bet: Over 9 (-115 at DraftKings)
