Washington at Cincinnati

Teams that are apparently heading in opposite directions will take the field in Cincinnati tonight as the Reds try to snap out of a drought that has left them with 10 losses in their last 11 games. Washington has ridden the hot bat of Bryce Harper and his 18 HRs on the season, 13 of which have come this month. They will send a bruised ego to the mound in Stephen Strasburg, who has lost his way. Strausburg is saddled with a 3-5 record and a 6.50 ERA on the season. The Reds will go with Anthony DeSclafani who has pitched well, and has an ERA of 3.46 on the season. Washington is just 2-9 on the road in their last 11 vs. a team with a losing road record, and it's too hard to trust Strasburg right now. Play on Cincinnati.
