San Francisco Giants over Washington Nationals: As always when we bet SF scoring runs will be the concern. We will take a small disadv into this one but given the venue that should help. Offsetting this as well we will have a med adv in the bullpen. I also expect Samardzija to go deeper in this game than Fedde. Worst case we have a small adv in starting pitching. Fedde is off his worst start as a pro vs. Atl he went 3.6 inngs giving up 9ER. Confidence could be an issue for this inexperienced guy not used to the pressures of baseball stretch drives. Granted that bad start was against Atl he takes a step down in class tonight on the road. However Fedde is an extreme ground ball pitcher who does not strike out many for someone with control issues. Samardzija is finally healthy and having a good bounce back year. I expect him to give a good quality 6 turning it over to a strong bullpen. I have this game at 1.33 giving us excellent value.
