The Nationals head into Oracle Park looking to flip the script after dropping 4 of their last 5 against the Giants. Washington will send Jake Irvin to the mound, hoping to slow down a San Francisco lineup that’s been tough at home.
The betting market is leaning toward a low-scoring affair, with the total at 8.5 and recent history supporting the UNDER — it’s cashed in 6 of the last 9 matchups between these clubs.
San Francisco sits as a -158 favorite, and while the Giants haven’t announced their starter, they’ve consistently found ways to edge Washington in close games. Bettors may find more value eyeing the total or live in-game lines if Irvin starts strong.
