San Francisco at Washington

The San Francisco Giants have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games and played themselves up to .500 and within striking distance of the NL wildcard race. The Giants have gotten outstanding pitching in the 10 games having allowed just 2.3 runs per contest. Hayden Birdsong is 4-2 in six decisions since being inserted in the starting rotation. Opponents have scored just 17 total runs in the six starts or fewer than three runs per contest. The Nationals will send MacKenzie Gore to te mound, and he has struggled of late. Gore has seen opponents rack up 48 runs in his last seven decisions, or just about seven runs per contest. The Nats are just 4-9 in their last 13 games. The Giants are on the move with a quality starter, and I like them in this spot. Make the play on San Francisco.
