Washington at San Diego

Washington bounced back from tough losses in the first two games of the series and defeated the Padres 4-1 behind Max Scherzer. The Nationals can salvage a split today with Stephen Strasburg on the mound, and they are 7-2 in Strasburg's last nine starts versus San Diego. Washington has won 10 of its last 14 overall, and the Nats are a remarkable 22-4 in Strasburg's last 26 Sunday starts. Luis Perdomo will make his first start of the season for the Padres, and Washington hitters have a .945 OPS against him. Meanwhile, Strasburg has a 2.09 ERA and .188 opponent batting average in day games, and he gave up two runs on four hits in seven innings in one start against the Padres this year. There is good line value in this matchup. Take the Nationals.
