San Francisco Giants vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The San Francisco Giants can't afford to blow games like this if they're serious about competing for a playoff spot down the stretch. Blake Snell has also been ridiculous over his last few starts, which includes allowing 0 runs in his last 15 innings. Jake Irvin has been sharp in his own right, but he also pitches for the Nationals, who look like a team that's running out of gas. No excuses for the Giants in this spot. Give me the Giants for a much-needed bounce back victory.
