Super Early MLB *MONEYMAKER*
(MLB) Washington vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -126.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: Washington Nationals
Rating: 8/10*

I think the Washington Nationals are showing some good value here at Pittsburgh Pirates early Thursday afternoon. The Nats' right-hander Tanner Roark (3-1, 3.88 ERA) is 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in four career appearances versus Pittsburgh and he's 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA in three road starts on the season. Pittsburgh sends Tyler Glasnow (1-3, 7.98 ERA) to the hill. The 23 year old has struggled all season long and he was knocked around for seven runs on seven hits and two walks with a pair of homers in just 2 1/3 frames at Arizona his last time out.

The Nationals are 7-2 in their last nine road games vs. a team with a losing record and 17-5 in Roark's last 22 starts vs. a team with a losing record.
