The Washington Nationals went from 98 wins two years ago to 86 last season, and their 14-12 start to this season is certainly troublesome. But, today they get the lowly Astros who are just 9-17 on the season. And, Washington starts southpaw Gio Gonzalez who has started the season 3-1. Opposing him is Jarred Cosart who has posted a horrific 7.71 ERA in his last three starts. The Astros offense has been non-existent all season long and they struggle the most vs. left-handed pitchers. In nine games vs. LHP this season, Houston is getting just 2.7 runs per game. Houston is now 20-73 the past two season vs. winning teams. Meanwhile, Washington is 41-16 the past three seasons as a road favorite of -125 or more. Take the Nats here.
