AAA's VERY EARLY INTERLEAGUE "ASSASSIN!" (+$11,000 ALL PICKS L20 DAYS!)
(MLB) Seattle vs. Washington,
Money Line: -142.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Washington Nationals.

We like Washington to build off yesterday's 5-1 victory and to find a way to get the job done on Thursday afternoon in another matchup on the mound that's working in its favor.

Ariel Miranda: He's 3-2 with a 4.28 ERA. He comes in off a gem against the light-hitting White Sox on Friday, posting nine K's over seven innings while giving up one earned run off four hits and two walks. Miranda has been a "Jekyll and Hyde" hurler this year though, going 2-1 with a 2.36 ERA at home, but only 1-1 with a ballooned 6.65 ERA on the road.

Gio Gonzalez: He's 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA. He comes in off his first shaky outing of the season, giving up four earned runs off nine hits while striking out five in a no-decision against the Braves on Friday. Gonzalez's 5.24 FIP suggests rockier times ahead, but he's been "lights out" at home this year, going 1-0 with a 1.41 ERA.

The bottom line: Note that Seattle is just 3-8 (-3.6 units) this season as a road dog in the +125 to +175 range, while Washington is 8-5 (+1.1 units) as a home fav in the -125 to -175 range. Gonzalez gets the nod in this matchup as home field simply can't be overlooked. Lay the price, play on the NATIONALS.
