Atlanta at Washington

The Washington Nationals have been given a hard time so far in their four game series vs. Atlanta. Washington rallied from a 4-1 deficit to win in extra frames 5-4 last night. The Nats will have a good shot today as they send Stephen Strasburg to the hill. Strasburg finally seems to be injury free, and his last 45 starts display that very clearly as the Nationals are 36-9. Washington has won those 45 games by an average margin of over 2.5 runs per contest, with six of the wins coming vs. this Braves team. Julio Teheran is a pretty decent starter, but against the Nats the Braves stand at a woeful 1-8 in his last nine starts against them. Play on Washington.
