In their last games the Giants lost to the Colorado Rockies 5-0 and the Nationals lost to the San Diego Padres 13-4.
On the season the Nationals have an Over/Under record of 23-19 and a run-line W/L record of 19-25 and the Giants have an Over/Under record of 26-17 and a run-line W/L record of 16-28.
This season the Giants are 15-7 at home and the Nationals are 11-12 on the road.
The Nationals have won 5 of their last 6 games against the Giants.
Zach Duke (0-0 8.40 ERA) goes for the Nationals and he is getting his first start since he was with the Pirates back in 2011. In his last outing he was tagged for 4 earned runs in less than an inning of work.[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Giants will send out the struggling Ryan Vogelsong (1-4 8.06 ERA), who gave up 3 earned runs in only 2 innings in his last start in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
Vogelson only has 1 career start against the Nationals and that was last season when he was tagged up for 8 earned runs in only 2 innings in a loss.
Duke is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA in 3 career starts in San Francisco and he may have to have a good outing tonight, as the Nationals’ offense has struggled all season and only ranks 27th in the Majors in runs and 29th in team batting average.
The hot hitters of Marco Scutaro and Buster Posey were given the day off yesterday and Scutaro is riding a 17-game hitting streak and Posey is hitting .340 with 12 RBI in his last 15 games.
In some betting trends for this NL match up the Nationals are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record, 0-4 in their last 4 games as a road underdog, and they have an Over record of 21-10 in their last 31 road games.
The Giants are 1-5 in their last 6 games, 14-5 in Vogelsong’s last 19 home starts, and they have an Over record of 15-5-1 in their last 21 games.
In the last 6 games between these 2 teams the total has gone Over every time.
Jason’s Pick: I think Vogelsong will break out of his slump tonight at home and lead the Giants over the Nationals.
