Andres Chapparro is a bat you can bypass his poor home numbers on the year where he is hitting just .158 without a home run. Over the last week he has homered three times with a total of eleven RBI’s. He is also hitting behind Curtis Mead who gave Eduardo Rodriguez problems in June, and in front of CJ Abrams. Take his combination line over.
The Washington Nationals first series against the Arizona Diamondbacks they caught Ketel Marte during his worst stretch of the season. It was a stretch that he went 2 for 34 at the plate, which included going 0 for 11 against the Nationals. Look for Marte to take that to heart, and I believe he has a huge series against the Nationals. He did end June with five home runs in the final week with seven RBI’s. Tail Marte over on his hitting props.

The Washington Nationals return from a very successful road trip in terms of runs and home runs against the Colorado Rockies and Athletics. One bat that did not homer was Curtis Mead. Yet, each of his last two home games he did against the New York Yankees. He’s also homered in three out of his last six home games. Eduardo Rodriguez who he saw on June 6th, he hit a two run homer off of in his first plate appearance. Take Mead over on his combination line and split with a home run.
I have said this before and I will say it again probably many times before I am replaced by a giant Fax machine: AI does not see intangibles or flat spots. It sees John Connor and how to improve assembly lines. But not sports betting. I'll never believe that. If a pattern existed, I would have found it by now. This screams against Arizona having had to fly to St. Louis (kudos on that win, that burned) for a one-off makeup game last night and then off to D.C.. The Nats were off Thursday and I don't even need an outright win. Washington has been one of the most profitable ATS teams of the season.
