Ever since Stephen Strasburg burst on the scene, it seems that more is expected of him than any pitcher in baseball. While he has plus stuff, the winning has never come easy for him. He owns just a 15-15 record over the last two seasons and has pitched to a respectful, but not dominating ERA of 3.53 on the season. Chris Tillman seems to battle everytime he takes the mound, and over the last three seasons, he owns a 32-14 record. He is also 6-0 on the road this season. And pitching as a road dog, his record stands at 19-7 in his last 26 starts. The O's are also 8-1 in his last nine road starts to a low total of 7-8.5. The Nats are just 1-4 behind Strasburg when facing the AL East, and Baltimore averaged 11.3 hits per game vs. the Nats strong pitching a year ago, and have won four of the last five. Make the play on Baltimore.
