Bears vs Wiz Pick: Under
While we do not have the line on this game yet, we are expecting the under to hit here. Both of these starting pitchers have done good for their respective teams and should be able to do really well here. Granted, the Wiz have ended up getting some good hitting and run production, we do not see that continuing in this game against Been. That is why we are picking the under in this game as we see a score more along the lines of a 4-2.
