Atlanta at Washington

Washington blew a 5-0 lead on Thursday before losing 7-6 to Atlanta, but the Nationals still have won four of their last six as they make a last-ditch effort to make the playoffs. The bats have come alive for the Nationals, who have scored 40 runs their last six games and they are 35-17 their last 52 games versus teams with winning records, dating back to last season. Atlanta has had trouble with its starters lasting more than four or five innings and the Braves will go with Josh Tomlin tonight. The Nationals will get their second look in a week at Tomlin, who gave up a run in six innings against them on Sunday. The right-hander has allowed eight runs in 16 1/3 innings in night games this season and he has a 4.09 ERA on the road. Take the Nationals on the runline.
