THE INSIDERS ROOM'S INTERLEAGUE INTERCEPTOR (OFF HUGE 2-1 TUESDAY!)
(MLB) Washington vs. Toronto, 07/29/2020 6:05 PM, Score: 4 - 0
Money Line: -157.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* INTERCEPTOR on the Washington Nationals.

Max Scherzer is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA after one game this season, but we expect his record to get considerably better after this outing.

In nine career starts vs. the Jays Scherzer is 4-2 with a 2.24 ERA and he's 33-23 with a 2.99 ERA in 81 career starts at Nationals Park.

Nate Pearson is 23 years old and while his fastball can reach 100 MPH, we still think he's in well over his head here.

Add to the fact that the defending champs have struggled with consistency at the plate to open 2020 and I think they'll be extra eager here to take advantage.

This line could easily be a lot larger. The value is on the superior veteran starting pitcher. Lay the price on the Nationals.

Good luck, NP
