It's hard to believe the Nationals have only won one of Max Scherzer's eight starts, losing his last five. He's only been bad in one start in a freak loss at Miami when he gave up seven runs. He only allowed one earned run to a hot Brewers squad his last time out. He's still bringing it, too -- 72 K's in 52.1 innings. Walker Buehler has given up three runs in each of his last three starts and the Dodgers are 5-2 behind him. Under is the top play.
Max Scherzer is 1-4 with a 3.78 ERA, however he has been extremely unlucky in 2019. (Opponents' BABIP is .380.) Scherzer has walked just eight hitters while striking out 72. Over the last three years, he has made two starts in Dodger Stadium, going 2-0 allowing just one earned run in 13.0 innings while striking out 23. Walker Buehler is the real deal at 24. Last year he was 8-5 with an ERA of 2.62 and a more impressive 1.93 ERA at home. In his last two home starts, Buehler has allowed just three earned runs in 13.1 innings. This should be a great pitcher's duel. Take the Under
The Dodgers have been a profitable play this season on the money line at home (+395), as a favorite (+77) and when Walker Buehler starts (+116). Those are all in play on Saturday, and my projection model loves the value on them against a Nationals squad that has lost five of their last six.
