9* NATIONALS RUNLINE (TOP)

I had a play on the Nationals on the runline yesterday and I think the visiting side will, at the very least, keep today's contest extemely competitive again as well. The Nationals send Paolo Espino (0-2, 3.33 ERA), while the home side counters with Ian Anderson (7-5, 5.09.) Admittedly, Espino has struggled of late: "It's just the way pitching goes sometimes," Espino said. "Two back-to-back outings where it hasn't been going my way, but I feel OK. I feel fine. I'm still executing some good pitches, but I'm also making some mistakes." Anderon comes in off a decent outing, allowing 1 run over 5 innings in a win over the struggling Cardinals last week, but previous to that he'd lost 3 straight and been shelled. He gave up 4 runs over 4 innings to the Nats in June. In a contest that I see being decided late or even in extras, I'm grabbing the Nationals on the runline option
