Trends
Washington is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall and 6-13 in their last 19 game two matchups while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a win. San Francisco is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 7-3 in their last 10 home games while the under is 7-3 in their last 10 games following a loss.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. Normally I love to fade Patrick Corbin, but Logan Webb hasn’t been good enough to back at this kind of price even if he is still technically San Francisco’s staff ace. Maybe that gives value to the Nationals in some way, shape or form, but I’m personally not in a position where I feel comfortable putting any of my hard-earned money on Patrick Corbin. I’ll side with the over here as I’m expecting runs early and often here.
