Washington had some high expectations after making the playoffs a year ago, but they have settled into a much more pedestrian team, playing .500 baseball through 66 games. The Indians are vastly improved, and match the Nats at an unexpected .500 mark. Jordan Zimmermann has been a handful, and will be seeking his 10th win on the season, but like the Nats as a whole, they are just a .500 team when he takes the ball on the road at 3-3. Scott Kazmir is making strides for the Tribe, and seems to be getting deeper into games, and in less trouble. The Nats have not gotten it done on the road at 4-10 over their last 14, and Cleveland has six straight wins at home vs. a right-handed starter, and are 4-0 here behind Kazmir in his last four. Go with Cleveland.
