> The Skinny
It is time for the Nationals and Anthony Rendon (.429/.490/.881) to beat up on a team outside of the I-95 corridor. Now it will be the Pirates, who have been shut out twice in their last three games . . . You can not stop Toronto SS Freddy Galvis (11-for-22 with a 1.000 slugging percentage over the last six games), you can only hope to contain him. For one night at least, the Rays’ psuedo starter Ryne Stanek and whomever follows him to the mound, certainly will not . . . They simply can’t post a number high enough total for the A’s-Rangers tilt that I wouldn’t bet Over on. Maybe if it got to be two touchdowns, with the two-point conversions. Oakland has scored 8-4-13-10-8 in their last five games. Texas has scored double digits twice and allowed double digits twice already this season . . . The Giants have scored a total of two runs in their last two games, but that is doubled what the Rockies have their plated in their last pair. Under. Waaaaay Under.
