San Diego is 3,000 miles from home and plays its seventh straight road game here, part of a brutal 10-game April road trip. This offense looks out of gas already, scoring a total of one run the last two games, and for the season ranks 30th in runs scored and on base percentage, plus 29th in slugging. The Padres are 4-9 in their last 13 road games, and they are on a 37-13-3 run UNDER the total with that lousy offense. In fact, the UNDER is 40-12-3 in the Padres last 55 vs. a team with a winning record. Washington has it all going, ranked sixth in baseball in runs scored and ninth in slugging. The Nationals are 40-16 in their last 56 games as a favorite. Washington is a huge park, great for pitchers, and the UNDER is 4-1-1 in the Nationals last six home games vs. a right-handed starter. It's tough to see a lot of runs being scored, especially by the anemic visiting offense. Play the Washington Nationals and the Padres/Nationals UNDER the Total.
