Result:
LOSS

The Washington Nationals have caught fire, and on the strength of a nine game winning streak have opened up a seven game lead in the NL East. The Nats now own the best record in the NL. Their nine game toot has forced the hands of the oddsmakers to pad the line for this one in anticipation of heavy traffic on Washington. History shows us that that these inflated lines have left a team on a nine game winning streak to be negative in terms of ROI over the last decade. Gio Gonzalez has not been the same pitcher he was a year ago. He sits at 6-9 on the season, and has not recorded a win in any of his last seven starts, a period that has seen him lose five times. Arizona has swung the bats very well vs. left-handed pitching where they own a 7-2 mark in their last nine when facing them. The Nats are now 0-5 when Gonzalez gets the ball when facing a team that scored 2 or fewer in their previous game. Take Arizona.
