Which of these teams is struggling more right now? Yes, the Nats were swept by the Dodgers and were outscored 24-9. But San Francisco got swept by the Piuttsburgh Pirates (inexcusable) and have dropped seven in a row. These two teams met just before those two series and Washington swept the Giants. You have to give the starting pitcher edge to the Giants here with Noah Lowry vs. Pedro Astacio. But Astacio has a lifetime winning record and 4.06 ERA vs. the Giants so don't count him out. And with the way the Giants are hitting right now (3.3 runs per game over their losing streak), he doesn't have a huge challenge in front of him tonight. SF is just 19-26 this season as a favorite of -100 to -150 and I like the road dog in this one.
