Regression is the key to Thursday’s Pirates vs Nationals matchup from Washington. While Martin Perez looked excellent in his season debut for the Pirates, he did so against a Marlins team that has been horrible to start this season. Look for Perez to have more trouble against a Nationals team that isn’t great, but has at least shown signs of life early in the year, as the Nats should come away with a win at plus money in this one.
