Washington at Cincinnati

Washington topped the Reds yesterday, 7-6, as a +175 dog. They continue to be a money-maker away from home, on a 38-45 run on the road. One of those road victories was late last year when today's starter, Jake Irvin, won at Cincinnati, 6-3. The Nationals are 44-50 as an underdog of +150 or higher, including 30-34 as a road dog of +150 or more. They're also 14-10 when the total is 10 or higher. Cincinnati starter Nick Martinez is off two good seasons in San Diego, a good pitcher's park. However, Cincinnati is a home run park and Martinez started his career in Texas, a hitter's park. He had ERAs of 5.59 and 5.66 in his last two seasons in Texas. The Reds are 116-142 at home after a game where their bullpen blew a save. Play Washington.
