Washington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers
Suggestion: Washington Nationals (-117)

I capitalized in Gio Gonzalez last start, and I'm going to back him again tonight. Gonzalez is, to put it simply, playing out of his mind. Switching to the National League has been very good to him, as he has dominated in his last three starts; 20 innings, 21 strikeouts, 4 walks, and no runs! That is a hot streak worthy of our investment. The Dodgers have no experience against him yet, which should also work in his favor. The Nationals are on a losing streak, but all three losses are of the one-run variety. Dodgers starter Chris Capuano has pitched well enough of late, but was shelled in his last start against Washington, giving up 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. That's enough for me to take the better starter, putting up some of the best numbers of his career. Invest in the Washington Nationals (-117)
