#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) San Francisco vs. Washington, 08/07/2016 9:35 AM, Score: 0 - 1
Money Line: -107.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: San Francisco Giants
Rating: 5*

The San Francisco Giants have struggled ever since the All Star break with just six wins in 20 games. They're off an emphatic 7-1 victory against the Washington Nationals on Saturday though, and I think we're getting a great price on the visitors in the rubber match of this three game set at Nationals Park.

Madison Bumgarner (10-6, 2.25 ERA) takes the ball for San Francisco. The Giants have lost each of his last four starts and Mad Bum was lit up for eigth runs on 10 hits in five innings at Philadelphia his last turn. His career numbers against Washington are decent though (2.86 ERA, WHIP of 1.045). Bumgarner struck out 14 in a three-hit shutout against Washington last August in the last meeting.

The Nats turn to Tanner Roark (11-6, 3.02) who is 2-1 in his last three starts despite compiling a 4.42 ERA. He's struggled with Giants' catcher Buster Posey who is 4-for-9 in the matchup, and the Giants are 27-11 in their last 38 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game so I like them to keep the momentum from last night's win going here against Roark.

The Nationals meanwhile are 3-7 in their last 10 after scoring two runs or fewer in their previous game, and with the Giants desperate for wins to stay top of the NL West this looks like a good spot to back San Francisco.
