Atlanta at Washington

The Atlanta Braves were projected to win 68 games this season, while the Washington Nationals were posted in the 90s. The Braves have gotten off to a fast start at 6-3 on the season, but that is simply not going to last, especially vs. the likes of Max Scherzer. Scherzer is a top of the rotation pitcher that bested the Braves in three of four starts at home a year ago. The Braves got off to a strong start because they have averaged nearly seven runs a contest, but have plated just six total runs in their last two, and evidence is mounting that this team is returning to normalcy, which in their case is less than mediocre. Make the play on Washington.
