Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy This is a first-five bet on two starters who can lose the game fast. Littell just allowed 5 runs in 1.2 innings, while Avila got tagged for 8 by Houston before finishing the 1st. Kansas City's weak offense is the risk, but Washington entered the series with MLB's highest run-scoring rate.
