Las Vegas - No one expected the Nationals to have 38 wins at the end of June. CERTAINLY not the oddsmakers. Before the season started, Washington's projected Over/Under for total wins was listed at around 65.5. The Nats have played 81 games, exactly half of the 162. So, they have 81 games to get 26 more wins and go Over. This afternoon will not be one of those Ws. The Rays have started to heat up, winning seven of the last nine, while the Nats have lost four in a row (not including last night). Tampa Bay sends Taj Bradley to the hill and he has been throwing darts since early June, allowing only 4 earned runs over the last 23 innings for a gorgeous 1.57 ERA. Throw in 29 Ks over his last 23 frames and you understand why the Bank of Benj is wide open.
