This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Washington Nationals.
Setting the scene: Jon Gray has likely been the Rockies' most consistent starter this year, but Stephen Strasburg has been ranked among the elite since Day 1. We think Strasburg outduels his counterpart and the Nationals take full advantage of another very favorable pitching matchup.
Strasburg: He's 15-3 with a 3.07 ERA. Strasburg is coming off a couple of rough outings, most recently allowing six earned runs over 5.1 innings in an eventual 8-5 loss to Atlanta on Friday. He'd also strike out seven and post first-pitch strikes on 20 of 25 batters overall. We think Strasburg finally settles down today and while it obviously won't be easy throwing at hitter friendly Coors Field, it's still significan to note that he's 6-1 with a 3.05 ERA in all day games and a perfect 8-0 with a tiny 1.70 ERA on the road.
Gray: He's 8-6 with a 4.55 ERA. Gray has been downright horrible of late, most recently giving up seven runs off six hits in his team's 10-6 setback to Philadelphia on Friday. Gray has now given up 15 runs off 16 hits and five walks over eight innings over his last two starts. Gray owns a 4.94 ERA at home.
The bottom line: Strasburg owns the super road record, while Gray continues to back his way into the end of the season. Lay the price with confidence on the NATIONALS.
