One week into the new NFL season, Jim Feist takes a look at stats and why, sometimes, they can lie

Hollywood Sportsbook has posted its odds for today’s MLB game between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, with the Nationals looking for a repeat of last week’s clean sweep.
The two sides met last week in Washington, with the Nationals sweeping the three-game set, after rallying in the eighth inning or later in all three games. However since then, fortune would appear to have changed for Arizona, as they are now looking to continue their longest winning streak in nearly two months at Chase Field this evening.
Hollywood Sportsbook’s Media Relations executive, Alejandro Gomez forecasted “The Diamondbacks won the final three games of their series with St. Louis over the weekend, their longest winning streak since a four-game run nearly two months ago. However, Arizona could find it difficult to extend their winning streak against the Nationals, as they have won 13 of the last 15 games between the teams.”
Hollywood Sportsbook currently has Washington favourites at +134 with Arizona coming in at -144. Game 3 is scheduled to start this evening at 6:40 pm (ET).
