This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Washington Nationals.
For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, we feel that Tanner Roark could easily be a much bigger favorite in this particular matchup.
Nick Pivetta: He's 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA. Most recently he was shelled for four runs off nine hits over five innings in a setback to these very Nationals on Friday. Over two outings Pivetta has been rocked for 18 hits over ten innings.
Roark: He's 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA. Most recently he gave up two unearned runs off two hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings in an unfortunate setback to the Phillies on Sunday. Roark has now gone at least five innings in all seven outings this year and has given up three runs or fewer in six of them.
The bottom line: Roark was particularly effective at home last year, going 9-6 with a 2.72 ERA. Also note that Philadelphia is just 6-12 (-3.9 units) following a loss, while Washington is 13-8 (+2.2 units) this year following a victory. Lay the price with confidence, play on the NATIONALS.
