The set-up: Patrick Corbin (0-0, 1.42 ERA) had the weekend off because of the postponed series vs. the Marlins and I think that benefits the defending champs' starter. In his first start Corbin looked fantastic as well, retiring the first 11 Yankees he faced (and five via strikeout), ultimately striking out eight with no walks and just one run over seven innings in what turned out to be an unfortunate no-decision.

The pick: Steven Matz (0-1, 3.18) gets the nod for the visitors. Matz allowed three runs off eight hits with two walks over five innings in a loss to the Reds on Thursday. Matz has been consistently inconsistent with his game-to-game performance though and note that he was particular poor on the road last season, going just 3-8 with a 6.67 ERA. Look for the well rested home side to take advantage and lay this very reasonable price.

This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Washington Nationals.
