OUR PICK: The under is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings between these two teams in Washington, is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings overall, and are 5-1 in Bumgarner’s last six starts versus the Nationals. The under is also 7-2-1 in Roark’s last 10 home starts and is 6-2 in his last eight starts overall. If the Nationals were getting plus odds, they’d be worth a roll of the dice with the Giants struggling to win with Bumgarner on the mound. But with both teams laying odds, the under is the best play on the board.
