Gambling911.com has your Pirates vs. Nationals free pick and DFS play for July 25 as we have a matchup here with the two current rosters are a combined 38-for-189 at bats versus today’s opposing starters.

The total is set at 7 and we will be all over the UNDER here.

The Nationals starting pitcher, Gio Gonzalez, has allowed just 10 hits off of 69 at bats versus the current opposition (the Pirates).  He’s only permitted 4 extra base hits and 1 homerun over that time.

Gonzalez has permitted just four runs in his last 26 innings pitched.

Then you have the Pirates starting pitcher, A.J. Burnett, who has allowed 28 hits off of 128 at bats against these Nationals players.  Burnett does make for a decent DFS play as well should you wish not to go with Gonzalez.  After all, both men do have winning records this season (Gonzalez 7-4, Burnett 8-3).

Burnett allowed 6 runs in his last start so expect him to be on his A-game here.  Granted he somehow got the win in that one.

While Washington has won 7 of the last 10 in this series, the home team is 9-1.
