- Washington Nationals – 2H MoneylineThe Washington Nationals bullpen projects as the worst in the league, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
