Money Line: -108.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Loss
Washington at San Diego 10:10 ET
Padres over Nationals- The Washington Nationals are running away with the NL East as they have a 13.5 game lead and are playing one of weakest teams in the League. The Nats have had some injuries to deal with and one of them is to Stephen Strasburg and the other to Bryce Harper. In Strasburg's place they will start Edwin Jackson (3-2, 3.86 ERA) who pitched for the Padres last year. It looks as though Jackson would rather pitch for San Diego then against them as he is 0-6 with a 6.63 ERA in his career against them. Jhoulys Chacin (11-8, 4.06) is 3-2 lifetime against Washington and gets the win here. Take the PADRES!
