The Giants lost the series opener in Washington last night, and that comes as no surprise, as they have been terrible on the road all year. They are also bad against the NL East. It was their third straight defeat away from home, and San Francisco is now 21-35 on the road this season. The Giants season is as good as over and Washington still has hope in the Wild Card race sitting 8.5 games back with 44 games remaining. Lincecum (6-11, 4.18 ERA) has terrible career numbers versus Washington and the Giants are second to last in runs scored in the National League. Zimmerman (13-6, 3.10 ERA) lost to Atlanta his last time out, but the Braves have bats in their lineup and the Giants do not. Jordan Zimmerman is also 14-1 his last 15 home starts at night, so I really like the Nationals behind him starting on Wednesday night.
