The Nationals are a significant exposure in Saturday evening's Major League Baseball matchup between Washington and Toronto where the hosts are +184, down from +210 at some books.

Washington was at -192 to -198 depending on the book and it is interesting that the books are driving this line down. Toronto has won the last three in this series dating back to 2015. 

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Max Scherzer (10-2, 2.00 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Marco Estrada (3-6, 5.09)

Scherzer, who needs 8 1/3 innings to reach 2,000 for his career, limited the Giants to four hits in the hard-luck loss and has held opponents to a .171 average overall.   He is also 3-0 in four starts in Toronto.

Estrada has seemingly turned a corner in June, going 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 12 innings over two starts this month.  He used to play for the Nationals and is  2-1 with a 4.34 ERA against them.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
