The Cardinals have lost their last two games and four of their last six. On Monday, they’ll face Stephen Strasburg, who has won his last three starts against them. The last came on May 2 when he allowed one run in 6.2 innings of a 2-1 win. He is facing Dakota Hudson, whose last start was also a 2-1 loss at Colorado. Back the Nationals.

Stephen Strasburg is 17-6 with a 3.49 ERA this season and he has thrown five straight quality starts. Dakota Hudson is 15-7 with a 3.38 ERA this season and he is 8-2 with a 2.92 ERA at home. This is a good pitching matchup, and it will most likely come down to the Cardinals top five bullpen against the Nationals 29th ranked bullpen. The Cardinals are 47-28 at home and they have won three of four against the Nationals this season. Take the value in the Cardinals.
