Monday Night Plays...

Washington Nationals +167 (2x)

Why you should play the Angels:
-Bergmann is 0-4, 8.72 in his last four starts.
-Lackey has a 1.73 era
-Angels have won 12 of their last 15 road games
-Nationals have won 5 of their last 20 home games
-99% of experts are on the Angels(see below)
-And most importantly, courtesy of "Vegas Experts":
Two teams and pitchers heading in opposite directions here. The Angels just
swept the Phillies, in Philadelphia no less, and starter John Lackey is 3-0 with
a 1.86 ERA in his last three starts. Meanwhile, the Nats have dropped five of
their last six and starter Jason Bergmann has lost three straight decisions
garnering a 6.58 ERA in the process. He also hasn't won a home start this
season. Angels remain a MLB best 24-12 away from home. Play on the Angels.
Colorado Rockies/Kansas City Royals Under 8.5 -108 (1x)

Why you shouldn't play it:
-Under is 4-0-1 in last five Colorado road games; five of last six Kansas City home games went over the total. Wait, conflicting trends?! Good thing I have a coin.

Good luck, lets try and make it 5 straight (losers).
