Nationals vs Giants Prediction

The Giants are the better team overall, so they should be favored, but this is a lot of juice for a pitcher in Harrison who has just 5.1 innings under his belt this season. This will be Harrison’s first start of the season. The Nationals are doing just enough winning to be worth a look in the underdog role, and Irvin has been solid this season with a 3.88 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. In his last 17.2 innings, Irvin has allowed 16 hits and seven runs. I’ll take a shot with the Nationals and the more favorable price.
