Washington Nationals vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
Houck has been very good for Boston this season using his slider and splitter to keep hitters guessing. The horizontal movement on his pitches should give the Nationals trouble as well.
Out of the last 20 opposing right-handed pitchers to face the Nationals, 18 of them finished with five hits allowed or fewer. The Nationals are middle of the pack when it comes to batting average coming into this game with a .236 team average puts them at the 15 spot.
Tanner Houck is pitching with a ton of confidence right now and I expect that to continue in this game. He has allowed five hits or less in five of his seven starts this season. Give me the under 5.5 hits allowed for Tanner Houck's matchup against the Washington Nationals.
