MLB: Friday's play

Play: San Francisco +138 (Hudson vs. action)

Time: 7:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: This should be a hell of a game, but I think it's high-time that Washington ends up on the losing end. Of the Nationals' 10 straight victories, seven have been by one run and they've won in walk-off fashion in five of their last six. On Friday they will face Tim Hudson, who has owned them over the last two years and, really, over his entire career. Hudson is 17-5 with a 2.37 ERA in 30 career starts against Washington. His teams are 4-0 against the Nats in his last four starts and he has a 0.64 ERA in those contests. Washington hits 25 points lower against RH, and the Giants haven't committed an error in nine consecutive games. San Francisco has the better bullpen, and its relievers have combined for a 0.53 ERA in the last five tilts. Nationals relievers have a 4.15 ERA in their last five games.
