Cincinnati at Washington

Washington has not enjoyed the type of start they had hoped to achieve. Despite a breakout night at the plate last night, the bats produced a grand total of 4 runs in their previous four games. The Nats are just .500 through 22 games, and have scored 3 or fewer runs in more than half their games, having been shutout four times already. The Reds have fared extremely well in Bailey's last five starts as a road dog where they have been 5-0. Overall, they have been stellar after a loss by going 22-9 in their next game. The Nationals have struggled at home vs. winning teams where they are just 1-6 in their last seven.  This is a good spot for the dog here, so play on Cincinnati.
