PLAY:* (931) WASHINGTON
RATING: 4% PLAY
Down 0-2 on the road and facing the Giants ace the Washington Nationals showed they are far from done in this series. Today the Nats will send Gio Gonzalez to the mound and Gio has been an absolute beast in his last 2 starts. Gio pitched 7 innings in each start and gave up just 2 runs total in the 2 games. he allowed just 7 hits in 14 innings of work and had a strikeout to walk ratio of 17-2. Gio is a lefty and San Francisco was just 30-30 vs lefties this year while going 61-45 vs righties. Vogelsong has struggled as in his last 3 starts he has a ERA of 5.06 and a WHIP of 1.43. If current form wasn't enough how about this Gonzalez has faced San Francisco 7 times in his career and has a ERA of 2.59. Vogelson has faced Washington 5 times and has a ERA of 7.94 in those 5 starts. Finally when Gio starts at night over the last 2 years Washington is 40-19 in his his 59 starts. I have Washington winning this 4-2..
