San Francisco Giants have exceeded all expectations this year and are currently playing baseball above the .500 level. Their pitching have improved from their disastrous outings last year and their small ball have reaped its rewards. Their starting pitcher today will be Johnson who struggled miserably in his last time out, striking out zero batters, lasting for only 5.2 innings. But the good thing  for him today is that he will be facing an out or sorts Nationals side who are struggling big time.

Their away record of 5-12 speaks volume for itself and they are currently heading no where but down. Also, their pitcher for today got a win loss record of 0-3 in six starts and I do not think he will be able to lower down the Giants runs today. Randy Winn has been hot for the Giants in his last two games and I think the rest of the team has also contributed to the squad this season. I will go with the Giants here eve though Johnson is on the mound because he does look confident when playing at home.
