Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Once again, we’re getting plus money with a solid Nationals squad that keeps getting disrespected. The Giants have yet to prove they can string together wins, and Houser hasn’t been good this season with a 5.49 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 60.2 innings. Alvarez has just 20.1 innings under his belt, but he’s still been respectable with a 3.54 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. Regardless, the Nationals continue to turn a profit and should be a team you’re looking to back. In fact, only the Braves have earned more money than the Nats up to this point. Give me the road dog.
