Result: Win
Money Line: -163.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Washington Nationals.
We had a play on the Nationals on the RUN LINE yesterday and they'd hold on for the 4-2 victory. It was a much needed win for us. We're back on the horse again on Friday night as we think that Stephen Strasburg is well worth the price of admission in this matchup:
Strasburg: He's 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA. He comes in off a loss against the Mets on Saturday, although it was a quality start after giving up three runs while striking out two over seven innings. He's now given up either two or three runs in each of his five starts, while also going exactly seven innings in every outing as well.
Nick Pivetta: In his major league debut last Sunday he allowed two runs off nine hits over five innings in a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers. Pivetta was filling in for the injured Aaron Nola and this will likely be his last start in the majors before once again being sent back down. While Pivetta looked decent in his first outing, clearly the book is still out on the youngster.
The bottom line: Strasburg has to be feeling confident in this spot, as note that last year he'd finish a near-perfect 8-1 with a 3.00 ERA away from friendly confines. While the Nats wrapped up their Thursday afternoon victory over the Diamondbacks quite early, the Phillies were forced to play extra innings in Chicago. We think this is a much bigger mismatch than what Las Vegas wants us to think. Lay the price, play on the NATIONALS.
