Why we made this MLB spread pick

The Washington Nationals +1.5 line has a -3.3% EV at DraftKings. Pinnacle Fair has the Nationals +1.5 at -144 (59.1%). The Boston Red Sox -1.5 has an EV of -3.8% at BetMGM. Both bullpens are fresh. Nationals SP Brad Lord (RHP) has a 3.31 ERA, but his L3 starts are concerning (2.2IP 1ER, 0.2IP 6ER, 3.0IP 0ER). Red Sox SP Payton Tolle (LHP) has a better 2.78 ERA and solid L3 starts (7.0IP 0ER, 6.0IP 3ER, 5.0IP 3ER). The Red Sox also hit RHP worse than the Nationals hit LHP. However, HP Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt leans to the under. The line is stalled and shows tight consensus. Sized at 2u — confidence 66, with no clear market edge and conflicting signals from starting pitching and batting splits.
