I have Zack Godley as the 11th-best pitcher in MLB and Steven Strasburg the 5th-best. I have Strasburg 75 cents better than the average pitcher at home and Godley 35 cents better than the average pitcher on the road. Washington has three starters out offensivly and averages just 3.1 runs per game at home. Arizona historically hits far better at home than on the road, last year the Diamondbacks hit .276 at home and .234 on the road, while scoring 1.3 runs more at Chase Field. Go Under.
My numbers see the Nationals beating the Diamondbacks on Friday in nearly 70 percent of simulations, providing a value side on the moderate favorite. the Nationals are 23-7 in starts by Stephen Strasburg following a team loss, and are on a 4-1 run overall against right-handed starters. Arizona is 1-4 in the past five road starts by Zack Godley.
