Stephen Nover's Early Discount Casher
(MLB) Washington vs. Boston,
Money Line: 108.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
Jordan Zimmerman is far superior to Rick Porcello. The Red Sox are traveling after playing on Sunday night and have lost 21 of their last 29 home games.



Zimmerman is one of the best pitchers in baseball, yet still gets overshadowed by teammates Stephen Strasburg and now Max Scherzer.



Zimmerman has been tough in Interleague play with a 2.61 ERA in 19 career starts versus American League clubs. The Nationals are 5-0 during his past five road outings.



The right-handed Porcello has a 6.41 ERA in four career starts at Fenway Park. Washington is 7-2 in its last nine road contests when facing a right-handed starter.



The Nationals are getting healthier as Jayson Werth is expected to play today either in the outfielder or at DH. He's been out up to this juncture resting his surgically repaired right shoulder. His presence in the batting order makes everyone else better.
