Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Nationals compete, but it only means so much when the tickets aren’t cash. The Dodgers have caught fire again, and they’ve done a fine job of beating the teams they’re supposed to beat. Wrobleski has been solid for the Dodgers with a 3.65 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 128.1 frames. I’m rolling with the Dodgers and will lay the RL to shave down the price.
