Free MLB Pick

The Washington Nationals are in a beautiful spot here to cash as a massive +191 underdog. The Nats are on a mini heat, winner of five of their last seven games. A bunch of their bats are waking up right now and they’ve scored an average of seven runs per game over their last 3 contests. Conversely, the Giants aren’t scoring well right now and have only scored more than four runs ONCE over their last seven games and have only scored a total of four runs over their last two games. San Fran does not hit lefties well. Patrick Corbin has been throwing decent as of late. He always brings it vs. SF (2.86 ERA over last 103 innings vs. Giants) and he always seems to pitch well in SF.
