Houston Astros vs. Washington Nationals

In my opinion, the Washington Nationals should not be favored by -215...Even if Cy Young rose from the dead to pitch for them against Little Sister Mary's School for the Blind.

With that being said, they will probably win today, but I wouldn't lay that much juice on the Nats.

Does anyone know what Strasberg's pitch count will be limited to? (If everyone remembers, last outing against LAD he pitched great but was limited to 60 pitches. The bullpen then came in a blew a 3-0 run lead.)

As for his second major league start today, which is Strasburg's eighth rehab start overall this season, Johnson said this past Tuesday that after seeing what Strasburg could do with 56 pitches over 5.0 innings, "The way he's throwing, I think 70-80 pitches is probably wtihin his range easy."
The Nats' Skipper told reporters Saturday afternoon that the right-hander wouldn't have a set pitch count or inning limit this time out, but he said Tuesday night, "I'm just going to be real careful knowing [Jordan] Zimmermann, his second and third outings last September, [he] threw a lot of pitches in just 3.0 innings, so I'm going to look at [Strasburg] real close." Zimmermann made 10 minor league starts (to Strasburg's six) before returning to the majors on the same schedule Strasburg's followed this year. Zimmermann's second start of 2010 was arguably his best.

I had to cause Im weak. Played a parlay Nats 1H -210, Zona -190 & Tigers -230.

Thanks for the info Finite

Nats 1H may not be too bad in a parlay - I agree with that
