     I agree the Nationals do look pretty good tonight. I played them 1st 5 RL yesterday. I hate that bullpen.

     Actually Rodriguez’ ERA this August is 5.40, a significant improvement from the 1st half of the season. He faced the Astros last July 29 and in 5 innings giving up 2 ER 6H 6 SO. Though Angels lost that game, the offense came from Yanier Diaz and Peña and both are out tonight. 

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    Orioles are dead. Nats got a chance. Astros are most likely done. What a day!

    @Albertini

     I actually read that game wrong. I was looking at the angle of Gerrit Cole's road game but since Game 1 of that series I told myself that if I graph this Orioles game trend, the game one was the inflection point and I expect them to drastically change. From batting so good against Tampa to suddenly playing like kids in the little league and cant hit the ball. Since game 1 I was expecting them to lose 1-4 games, but I dont know what got through me today that I backed them. Oh well, other wagers are good so its not a bad day at all.

I was looking at the angle of Gerrit Cole's road game but since Game 1 of that series I told myself that if I graph this Orioles game trend, the game one was the inflection point and I expect them to drastically change. From batting so good against Tampa to suddenly playing like kids in the little league and cant hit the ball. Since game 1 I was expecting them to lose 1-4 games, but I dont know what got through me today that I backed them. Oh well, other wagers are good so its not a bad day at all.
    you still did a really good job for the day, by finishing plus in units thats all all we need
