MLB - 927 Washington Nationals @ 928 Kansas City Royals
(Starting Pitchers: G. Gonzalez vs B. Chen)
Washington is one of the worst teams on hitting against LH pitchers (#26), but they are hitting much better lately, as they were #30 not so long ago! They scored four runs against Travis Wood last night, they hit .389 BA against Chris Rusin, .283 BA against Matt Minor, .243 BA against Alex Wood and .290 BA against Madison Bumgarner! They will face another LH pitcher in Bruce Chen tonight, who allowed six earned runs in 5.1 innings against Detroit last Sunday. He is a flyball pitcher with fastballs at 80's mph and considering the fact that Washington is #3 in the league against LH pitchers over the last 14 days, I believe Chen will struggle tonight.
Gio Gonzalez will start for the Nationals, who allowed two runs in seven innings against Atlanta last Sunday. After a disastrous start at Detroit, where he allowed ten earned runs in 3.1 innings, he had three straight good starts in a good bounce back. Now against the struggling Royals' offense who is hitting just .200 BA against LH pitchers on their last 10 games, I expect Gonzalez to dominate them tonight. Washington is a clear SP and offense edge tonight, so I'll be taking the Nationals in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 927 Washington Nationals ML (w/ G. Gonzalez) @ -101 / 1.99 on 5Dimes
