Washington at Tampa Bay

The Washington Nationals were picked as the team that had the best chance to win it all before the season started. The Rays on the otherhand were projected to be an also ran in the AL, biut what the Rays have done on a limited budget is develop strong pitching, and once again, the pitching has been the anchor of a team that now shares the lead in the AL East. Gio Gonzalez has not pitched as expected for the Nats as he is carrying a 4.42 ERA and shows just one win in his last six starts, and has had similar numbers in his career vs. Tampa, with an ERA of 4.37 against them. The Nats are just 4-11 in their last 15 vs. a right handed starter, while the Rays hve destroyed left handed pitching at a perfect 8-0 in their last eight against them. Make the play on Tampa Bay.
