Run Line +1.5 • Washington Nationals

I'm taking Washington Nationals +1.5 --137, because sometimes the simplest hedge is the best hedge — and hey, three units makes me feel official. It feels like the public expects a clear result, but I smell a close one instead. The +1.5 is basically insurance: they can drop the game by a run or still cash if they pull off a win, so this pick expects a tight, late-deciding flow rather than a blowout.
