4* MLB Run Line Blowout on Nationals -1.5 -130
The struggling Astros have lost the first 2 games of this series, and I don't see them bouncing back tonight. In fact, they are 0-8 in their last 8 games after losing the first 2 games of a series and have lost by an average of 4.13 runs in this situation.

The Nats have won 6 of the last 7 versus Houston, and they undoubtedly have the advantage with Gio Gonzalez (8-2, 3.34 ERA on the road this season). Washington has won 10 of his 12 road starts this season with those 10 wins coming by an average of 3.2 runs. Bet the Nats.
