Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

The Nationals look like a team that’s running out of gas, and Irvin isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to back. Irvin has allowed 32 hits and 19 earned runs in his last 31.2 innings. In 69.1 road innings, Irvin has a 5.06 ERA and .259 allowed batting average. Teng hasn’t been good in limited innings, but the Giants need to take advantage of spots like this if they’re serious about making the playoffs. Give me the Giants at home.
