If not Sunday? Probably not. To be clear, this is a flier not a prediction. The Giants clearly have the starting pitching edge with Robbie Ray over 77-year-old Miles Mikolas, whom I think is a mummy at this point (pick your mummy version; didn't know until just now there was a new movie). But a lot of intangibles are against SF today. Among them: End of a long trip and the first meeting of the season with the hated Dodgers next. It's funny, bullpens usually scorch me because I often play favorites. Now I get to root for a potential reliever implosion on SF. And that pen is taxed, so Ray Over 17.5 outs might not be a bad idea.

The Giants won the first two games of this series and I think we are getting some early value at -143 with Robbie Ray on the mound Sunday. Ray has allowed two runs or fewer in all four starts this season. The Nationals counter with Miles Mikolas and his 11.49 ERA. That number is a little skewed because he gave up 11 runs to the Dodgers but San Francisco hits lefties pretty hard, so I see Mikolas' struggles continuing here. The other issue for Washington is Mikolas isn't pitching deep into games. That means the Giants should get plenty of chances to tee off on a Nationals' bullpen that ranks last in the NL with a 5.81 ERA. Take SF to get the sweep.
