Stephen Strasburg isn't going to lack movitation pitching in his hometown against the Padres. The Over, though, is 8-2 the past 10 times Strasburg has faced San Diego. Strasburg is backed by a horrific bullpen. The Nationals' only good reliever is closer Sean Doolittle, who has appeared in four of Washington's last five games, including the last two days. So Doolittle is carrying a fatigue rating.

The Padres are an underrated power team ranking ninth in the majors in homers. Their offense is more dangerous with the return of Fernando Tatis Jr.

The Nationals should provide their share of runs as the Padres are going with a bullpen game probably starting Luis Perdomo.

Adrian Johnson is scheduled to be the home plate umpire. The Over has cashed in 60 percent of his 40 home plate appearances the past two years
