On the mound for the Nationals is Paolo Espino who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 2.29. In his last start against the Phillies, he went five innings giving up three hits and three earned runs. If the Nationals want any chance to pull the upset here, they are going to need Espino to be light out.

On the mound for the Rangers is Dane Dunning who sits with a 1-5 record and an ERA of 4.38. In his last start against the Detroit Tigers he went 4.2 innings giving up four hits and five earned runs.

The under is 4-0-1 in Dunning’s last five starts during Game 1 of a series. The under is 4-0 in the Rangers last four interleague games against a right-handed starter. The Rangers are 6-0 in their last six interleague games.

The Rangers pitching had been good heading into this game, but that is going to change here. Dunning has really struggled this year and in his last start he gave up five runs. The Nationals bats haven’t been great and over the last two games, they have scored only three runs. The Nationals bats are going to be an issue again here. Back the Rangers on the money line.
