Top Major League Baseball Exposures June 9 - Washington Nationals
Outside of Justify in the Belmont Stakes, the Washington Nationals were the most wagered on Saturday as a -175 favorite.
Books are reacting accordingly by moving the line up from as low as -154.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Dereck Rodríguez (1-0, 1.93 ERA) vs. Nationals LH Gio Gonzalez (6-2, 2.27)
Rodriguez rebounded from a shaky performance in his major league debut to win his first career start in his second appearance, limiting Philadelphia to one run and five hits while striking out six over six innings.
Gio Gonzalez is unbeaten in his last seven starts since dropping a decision at San Francisco on April 23, a loss he will try to avenge.
Gonzalez did not factor in the decision last time out at Atlanta despite striking out a season-high nine and allowing three runs on five hits over seven innings. He has five quality starts during his current unbeaten streak and has yet to permit more than three runs this season.
