Washington at Atlanta

The Washington Nationals continue to have the best record in baseball, but tor the fourth straight time they will take the field as a road dog. After winning two of the first three, and a tough one last night with the winning run delivered on a Washington error. Edwin Jackson deserves a better fate than his 9-10 record as his ERA is certainly not bad at 3.85 on the season. Tommy Hansen on the other hand, does not deserve to be 12-8 with his 4.35 ERA, so the Nats have the edge on the hill and in the bullpen as a dog here. The nationals have been explosive vs. a pitcher with a WHIP of greater than 1.30, where they are a bountiful 55-24 over their last 79. Washington has won five of the last seven here, and the Braves are just 2-5 in their last seven as a favorite from -110 to -150. Play on Washington.
