Of course, big underdogs seldom win but, when they do, the payout is 2/1 or better. The Padres were +205 this morning at Washington and face stud Stephen Strasburg.
San Diego's offense rates last in the NL and the Nationals own the best defense. But the Padres have won 17 of their past 24 games at Washington.
And Texas was -235 Tuesday morning at home to the Royals, who upset the Rangers Monday night. Colby Lewis goes Tuesday, trying to extend a 10-2 home run against KC.
