Orioles vs Nationals MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
By Derek Carty
There may be some value in Jeremiah Jackson's walks prop.
THE BAT X is projecting the Orioles second baseman to record 0.15 walks, and oddsmakers are implying 0.54. The model believes there is an 86% chance he records no walks against the Nationals.
If you can get the under at -135 or better, there is great value here. This play is good down to at least -353.
