COL Brendan Rodgers to Record 2+ Total Bases (+100) @ Washington Nationals

Rodgers has recorded at least two total bases in six of his past ten games.
He is 6-for-13 (.462) lifetime against Nationals lefty starter Patrick Corbin (2-12, 5.92 ERA), three of those hits going for extra bases, including a home run.
Right-handed batters have crushed Corbin this season, slashing .324/.365/.531 over 107.2 innings.
Rodgers is slashing .324/.376/.491 against LHP this season (108 AB).
Washington’s bullpen (4.09 ERA) has surrendered the seventh-most hits this season (444), which could provide additional opportunities for Rodgers.

Baltimore Orioles slugger Anthony Santander has hit 37 home runs this season, tied for the third most in MLB.
Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti (5-11, 5.20 ERA) has given up multiple home runs in back-to-back starts and three of his past four.
Arrighetti has posted a 43.5% fly ball rate to LHB this season — trouble against Santander’s 58.7% fly ball rate versus RHP.
Houston’s bullpen, while middle of the pack, has allowed 54 home runs this season, offering Santander a chance to add to his tally.
