NY Mets -1.5 +122
Things have gone pear-shaped in a hurry for the Chisox, now losers of eight straight amid rumors of manager Robin Ventura's job safety. Not sure the Pale Hose, with no wins their last six vs. lefty starters, recover tonight against Mets starter Steven Matz, who has yielded just six runs in his last 48 frames. After a fast start, Chisox starter Mat Latos has posted a 7.08 ERA in his last five outings.

Nationals -110
The Phillies peaked early as they won close games, but now their offense does not exist and they are starting to slide back down to earth. Nova has pitched well this year, but you can’t keep expecting to win 2-1 type ball games. If the Nationals put up any crocked numbers in any of the innings they will win this game with ease. With Philly there is no margin for error. At even money I like the value.
