Prediction

Given Manny Machado's recent form and the Nationals' pitching vulnerabilities, we predict that Machado will have a productive game. Specifically, we like the value in the Over 0.5 RBIs (+125) prop. Machado has a good track record against right-handed pitchers, and with Mitchell Parker's inconsistency, Machado could very well drive in a run.
