Atlanta at Washington

The Washington Nationals came into this season with the highest forecasted season win totals of any team in MLB. They not only have come up short, and been disappointing, but the so-called best team in baseball is on a path that will keep them out of the playoffs. The Atlanta Braves send Julio Teheran to the mound who has been every bit as good on the season as Tanner Roark has been for Washington. This line a serious overreaction to Washington's offensive explosion last night, as well as playing to the theme of the best team in baseball, which the Nats have fallen far short. The Braves own a 20-6 mark in Teheran's last 26 starts after their last opponent scored 5+ runs. The Nationals' inconsistencies late in the season have left them at 6-11 when following a win in their last 17. Play on Atlanta.
