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.
