The Nationals are a top exposure in tonight's Major League Baseball featuring a line of -176 and coming off a high of -185.
They will take on a San Diego Padres team that is 6-4 in their last ten games overall but lost to the Nationals 2-10 yesterday.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres LH Eric Lauer (1-2, 8.14 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Jeremy Hellickson (1-0, 2.20)
Since tossing six scoreless innings to pick up his first career win three turns ago, Lauer has been tagged for 10 runs and 13 hits across seven innings over his last two outings. He is 0-1 with a 9.24 ERA in his first three road starts, giving up 19 hits and nine walks in 12 2/3 frames. Right-handed hitters are batting .389 with five home runs in 72 at-bats against the 22-year-old Lauer.
That's enough to ensure we pass on this game.
