San Francisco Giants Favored to Defeat Washington Nationals in National League Match-Up

The San Francisco Giants will be facing the Washington Nationals in a National League match-up on Monday night. Both teams have strong offenses going up against pitchers who have had their struggles this season. The Nationals' choice to start left-handed pitcher Patrick Corbin may prove to be a challenge for them, as Corbin has a high ERA of 6.64 when facing the National League West and the team has only won 6 out of 16 games when Corbin has started this year. On the other hand, San Francisco's Logan Webb, who performed well in his last outing against Oakland, will be taking the mound. With an ERA of 3.49 this season, Webb is expected to perform strongly once again. While the Nationals may still manage to put runs on the board, the Giants' offense is expected to be more consistent. Overall, the Giants are favored to cover the spread in this game.
