Point Spread: -1.50 | -133.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: -1.50 | -133.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Washington Nationals -1.5.
The Padres upset Washington in the series opener last night, thanks to a pair of home runs by Matt Kemp. The former Dodger is on fire, with six home runs in his last six games. Kemp and the Padres face Max Scherzer in Game 2, and Kemp is 1-for-27 with nine strikeouts lifetime versus the Nationals ace.
Scherzer (10-6, 2.94 ERA) has pitched well lately, despite the fact that the Nationals have lost four of his last six starts. He went six innings, allowing one run on four hits and striking out 10 in a no decision at San Diego earlier this year, but the Padres went on the win that game by a score of 7-3. He's owned the Padres in his career, holding them to a combined .137 batting average over 131 at bats.
The Friars hand the ball to Edwin Jackson, who has struggled to stay in a major league rotation for the bulk of his 13 year career. Jackson (1-1, 4.76 ERA) walked five batters in 6 1/3 innings, but avoided a disaster giving up just three runs on one hit in a 5-3 win over the Giants in his first start of the season. He faces a Washington lineup with plenty of power, and could be punished if he continues to put men on base.
The Padres bullpen has really been knocked around this year, ranking near the bottom of the majors with an ERA of 4.54.
Take WAS -1.5,
