This looks like a good spot to back the Padres as they open a four-game series with the Washington Nationals. They have the advantage of remaining home in San Diego and coming off a three-game sweep of the Phillies while the Nats will fly across the country from D.C after a nine-game homestand.
The Padres hand the ball to Jhoulys Chacin (11-8, 4.06 ERA) who is 3-2 in his career against the Nationals with a 3.43 ERA. He's a solid 7-2 behind a minuscule 1.86 ERA in 12 starts home at Petco Park on the season, and he held the Dodgers to just one run in five innings his last time out.
The Nats turn to Edwin Jackson (3-2, 3.86 ERA) who has pitched pretty well since coming over from Baltimore, but he is 0-6 with a 6.63 ERA in his career against the Padres.
The Padres are 8-2 in their last 10 home games and 4-0 in Chacin's last four home starts.
My selection is an 8* play on San Diego Padres ML.
