So far he is putting forth the most dominant first half of his seven-year career. In the 14 games that Strasburg has started, he has a perfect 10-0 record and has only given up 75 hits through 93 innings. He has been best on the road where he’s 5-0 and allowed a total of 9 ER in over 38 innings of work. The Dodgers has given Strasburg an average of 6.7 runs per game to work with this season. Top Sports Blog believes that it’s going to be an extra-long night for both offenses. Runs should be hard to come by in the early innings, and we give the Nats an edge in this one.
