Washington at Toronto

The Washington Nationals have been impressive, taking five straight from the tough AL East, and have their top pitcher taking the mound in Stephen Strasburg for this afternoon's contest in Toronto. Strasburg has been on a very tight pitch count his entire career, and will be in uncharted waters for his start today, shortened a bit because of the day game. Strasburg never threw more than 103 pitches in his MLB career, and last time out he threw 119 in just 6 innings. He has also been a bit more hittable over his last four starts with a 3.66 ERA. Toronto has stepped-up as a home dog of +110 to +150 as they have won four of their last five in this spot. The Nats enter at just 9-20 vs. an interleague right-hander in their last 29. Play on Toronto.
