Twins vs. Nationals Pick
Will the Nationals pick up their third consecutive win and also produce a victory on the runline when they host the Twins at 1:35PM ET today?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Nationals are -210 on the money line and -1.5 (-105) on the runline to beat the Twins this afternoon. With Tyler Duffey set to face Stephen Strasburg in the pitching matchup, the over/under sits at 7.5 runs.
Bet Today’s Nationals vs. Twins Game
Washington has virtually been unbeatable with Stephen Strasburg on the mound. The Nats are 14-2 in his last 16 starts, 8-1 in his last nine home starts, and 21-2 in his last 23 starts on Sunday. They’re also a perfect 7-0 in Strasburg’s last seven starts after allowing two runs or less in their previous game, as they did on Saturday when they beat the Twins, 2-0.

As for those Twins, they’ve now lost nine of their last 10 road games and are 1-8 in their last nine road games versus a right-handed starter. They’ve also struggled in interleague games, going 1-4 in their last five contests versus the National League.
OUR PICK: The Twins are 0-4 in their last four games versus the Nationals and are also winless at 0-4 in their last four games in Washington. While -210 is too big of a risk to lay on an April baseball game, the -105 runline odds provide plenty of value. Take the Nats and lay the -1.5 in what should be their third-straight victory.
