The Nationals are holding up well after the first three
weeks of the new season, posting a very solid 7-5
mark against righthanders (+$400 with 5.3 runs per
game). Corey Lidle hasn't had any luck in his first
three starts (-$380) and may find it difficult to contain
a Washington offense that scored 11 runs vs. the Mets
yesterday. The Phillies are a dismal 4-7 vs. righties
(-$455) and Zach Day is coming off his best outing of
the year so far, putting up seven scoreless innings vs.
the Braves at RFK Stadium last Wednesday. Right now
Washington looks like the tougher team, well worth
giving a try as pick 'em in a home game.
