1st half Nats over the Phils

[flapjack]

Loaiza has gotten off to hot Aprils in recent seasons ERA under 3, pitchers better on the road and daytime and has dominated current Philly hitters:

Current Philly hitters vs Loaiza:

.172 BA, .195 Slg %

Current Nat hitters vs Wolf:

.262 BA, .434 Slg %

Nats 1st 5 innings over Phils +140.

Loaiza time - Cash it!

Another matchup I really like is the Rangers hitters versus Lakey:

Current Rangers hitters vs Lakey:

.308 BA, .483 Slg % 11 BB's 13 K's.

Not to mention Lakey has been a very slow starter as his Mar/April #'s have been horrific over the past few years.

Rangers over 4 1/2 runs. And a little on the Rangers in the first half of the game +130 based on pitcher matchup. Ranger pitcher has good stats vs Angels - .212 BA, .394 Slg % 0 BB's, 6 K's - but very limited experience.
