The Houston Astros (4-6) and Washington Nationals (8-3) will continue a four-game National League series on Tuesday night inside Nationals Park, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:05 ET.
Las Vegas oddsmakers have established the Nationals as -175 home favorites, while the total holds steady at 7.
Houston has been involved in six straight games decided by three runs or less, including a 6-3 series-opening loss on Monday. Total bettors are definitely noticing a trend with the youngest roster in baseball, with the "over" cashing in nine of their first 10 games.
Wandy Rodriguez (0-1, 2.38 ERA) is definitely capable of posting some zeroes on the scoreboard in this matchup, as he ranks third among NL southpaws with a 3.34 ERA since the start of the 2009 campaign.
In nine career outings versus the Nationals, he has tallied a solid 5-1 mark despite carrying an inflated 4.92 ERA, including a perfect 2-0 record and 5.09 ERA in three road starts in this series.
