Chip's NL Megabucks Winner (Pirates/Nats)
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Washington,
Money Line: -120.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
Pittsburgh at Washington 1:35 ET
Nationals over Pirates- I am not usually inclined to take a club after they have been no-hit like the Pirates were yesterday but Washington starter Gio Gonzalez (4-4, 4.82 ERA) has been so very successful at Nationals Park I had to come back with them. Add that the Nationals have now won six straight over Pittsburgh lends the thought that they have the Bucs number. The Pirates had won eight straight and 13 of 16 before the series opener on Friday but have now dropped the last two. Washington is 20-7 in Gonzalez's last 27 home starts and they play well behind him here. Take the NATIONALS!
