This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Washington Nationals.
Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely believe that Gio Gonzalez and the hard-hitting visiting side could/should easily be much larger ones in this particular matchup.
Gonzalez: He's 15-7 with a 2.68 ERA. Gonzalez most recently gave up two runs while striking out eight over seven innings in a victory over Atlanta on Wednesday. Gonzalez has been tough whether he's been at home (4-3, 2.28) or on the road (11-4, 3.01) this season.
Jake Thompson: He's 2-2 with a 4.14 ERA. Thompson comes in off a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday, giving up one run over five innings. Thompson has looked decent in three starts back since re-joining the rotation (2.95 ERA), but he still posted a poor 5.25 ERA in 118.1 innings in Triple-A and his 5.95 FIP suggests that immediate regression is imminent.
The bottom line: Note that Washington is 16-8 (+3.7 units) as a road favorite in the -125 to -175 range, while Philadelphia is just 5-12 (-4.9 units) as a home underdog in the +125 to +175 range. We like Gonzalez to continue his steady play to easily outduel his inconsistent counterpart. Lay the price with confidence, play on the NATIONALS.
