San Diego at Washington

The Washington Nationals will be sellers ahead of the trade deadline. This team is just 38-59 on the season. They are just 1-9 in their last 10 games and are on a 5-game losing streak. The Padres are just 4.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. Yu Darvish gets the ball, and he has made just two starts as he works his arm into shape. He has pitched well, but has walked 6 in just 8.1 innings of work, and I think he will work that out with each start as his location improves. Washington sends Mitchell Parker to the mound. His numbers are somewhat tainted, as his last two starts have come against the two hottest teams in baseball, Boston and Milwaukee. He allowed 11 earned runs in the pair of starts. Before that, he allowed seven runs over three consecutive starts, and the expectation is a lot closer to that than the previous two starts. The Padres are 12-5 to the UNDER on the road vs. left-handed starters. Make the play UNDER the total.
