The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles meet this afternoon to wrap up a 3 game set at Oriole Park in Camden Yards. Righty Paolo Espino gets the opening nod for the Nats and owns a 3.00 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 51 innings pitched on the year. Left-hander John Means will start for the O’s in this one. He posts a 2.72 ERA and 0.87 WHIP on his breakout season. In his first game back off the IL, Means pitched 5 innings against the Rays on July 20th and gave up 2 homeruns and 5 earned runs on 7 hits and only 2 strikeouts. Washington comes into this ballgame owning the best wOBA versus lefties in the MLB while the Orioles rank dead last in wOBA versus righties on the season. Additionally, Baltimore has only been hitting .237 and owni a 25th ranked wOBA in the past 30 days at home. The Nats bats have been hot hitting a 3rd best .374 wOBA in the past week whereas Baltimore ranks in the bottom 3rd of the league in that same time frame. Washington comes in with the better bullpen as well and after losing two straight to the O’s, this looks to be a great buy low spot to play the Nats, especially at plus money. Take the Nationals +112
