Washington @ Los Angeles picks

Washington Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore has surrendered five of his 10 homers to right-handed hitters, and he has also allowed six long balls on the road. Look for Teo to go deep for the 14th time tonight.

Gore is off to a tremendous start this season, going 3-6 with a 2.89 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and an NL-leading 119 strikeouts across 87.1 innings in 15 starts. Gore has consistently hit this six-strikeout mark this season as well. He has at least six strikeouts in 13 of 15 starts this season, including seven strikeouts in six innings against the Dodgers back on April 7. In fact, Gore has 7+ punchouts in 11 of his 15 starts so far. The Dodgers are one of the better teams at avoiding striking out, but their 8.13 strikeouts per game is still in the middle of the pack, 13th-lowest in the league.
