MLB Betting Trends

Washington

The Nationals are 14-6 in in Scherzer’s last 20 Saturday starts and 40-19 in his last 59 road starts.

San Diego

The Padres have won Lauer’s last four starts, but they have lost four straight Game 3’s of a series.

Prediction:

Scherzer continues to pitch well, as he has given up just two runs over his last 20 innings on the mound. He has gotten through at least six innings in eight straight starts as well. Lauer is pitching well too, allowing just one earned run in each of his last four starts. The difference for the two is run support. San Diego has been able to hit for Lauer while the Nationals aren’t doing the same for Scherzer. Washington is actually just 2-8 in his last 10 starts.

MLB Prediction: San Diego Padres +140
