FanDuel (-122). Gage Jump has been solid for the AтАЩs in his debut season, but he gets a brutal matchup Friday night. The rookie will face the Nationals who boast a league leading .789 OPS against lefties this season. Jump has struggled in the extreme hitting conditions in Sacramento, pitching to a 6.20 ERA, and staying under this line in 4/5 outings. With the bullpen rested, look for a quick hook for the rookie if things get out of hand early.
The AтАЩs donтАЩt score. TheyтАЩre lost 13 of 14. They havenтАЩt put a crooked number on the scoreboard in five straight. TheyтАЩve managed over two runs just one time in their last eight games. Neither team has a bullpen, so starter stamina is an asset here. Nationals RHP Cade Cavalli has gone six-plus innings in three of four and allowed three runs or less in six straight. AтАЩs LHP Gage Jump hasnтАЩt lasted six innings in four straight. WashingtonтАЩs home OPS and OPS vs. left-handers in July is over 1.000.
