Bet Tonight’s Nationals vs. Rockies Game
WASHINGTON: The Nationals have won four of their last five games overall and are a perfect 4-0 in their last four games on the road. They’re also 5-0 in their last five road games versus a team with a losing record, are 6-1 in their last seven games versus National League West rivals, and are 7-2 in their last nine games after scoring five runs or more in their previous contest.
COLORADO: The Rockies are in a funk. They’ve lost four in a row, five in a row against National League East opponents, and are just 1-6 in their last seven games coming off a loss. They’re also 0-4 in their last four home games versus a team with a winning record and have lost five of six versus an opponent that owns a winning record.

OUR PICK: Despite their struggles of late, the Rockies have been a very good bet when Bettis starts. They’re 6-1 in his last seven starts overall and are a perfect 6-0 in his last six home starts. Contrast that with the Nationals’ record when Gonzalez starts and Colorado is worth a flier tonight as an underdog. Washington is just 1-6 in Gonzalez’s last seven road starts and is 0-5 in his last five road starts versus a team with a losing record.
