1:40PM EST: Nationals ML +130 (5 Units).

WSH SP Jake Irvin has a 2.63 road ERA through 7 starts. He's fresh off a 6-inning shutout in Atlanta, racking up 10 K's on just 90 pitches. He's also gone into LA and shutout the Dodgers, into Boston and held them to 2 runs over 7 innings. Irvin posted a 2.45 ERA in the Month of May. There's also not a single Guardian on the roster who's faced Irvin before, so he'll have that benefit as well.

CLE SP Carlos Carrasco has a 5.16 ERA on the season and has pitched 6 innings or more in just 2 of his 9 starts. He also spent the last 3 seasons with the Mets, alongside the Nationals in the NL East. The current Nats roster has a .346 BA and .423 wOBA against Carrasco in 113 plate appearances. In his last 3 starts against WSH he's allowed 15 runs across just 9 IP. Cleveland's used their top two relievers in back-to-back days as well while the Nationals bullpen is fully loaded as they look to avoid the sweep.
