Tampa Bay at Washington

The Washington Nationals were supposed to challenge for a 100-win season this year, but at two games over .500 they have a long way to go. The Rays were considered a long shot in the AL East, but as we approach the All-Star game, they are perched on top. Chris Archer has been great, but the numbers suggest an adjustment is on the horizon, as what he has done is not sustainable, and he did lose his only career decision vs. Washington. Doug Fister has good numbers vs. Tampa Bay with a career 2.88 ERA covering five starts and a relief appearance. The Rays have struggled vs. right-handed pitching as they are 4-9 in their last 13 against them. The Nationals own a 4-0 record behind Fister as a dog from +110 to +150 in his last four. Play on Washington.
