Probable Pitcher:
Aaron Sanchez (3-3, 7.16 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 1st game of the series. Corbin took the loss in Saturday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Brewers, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings. He got pounded in his last start against the Rockies as he allowed 6 runs in 4.1 innings.
BETTING TRENDS
Colorado are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against Washington.
Colorado are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games on the road.
Washington are 7-13 SU in their last 20 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Washington's last 5 games against Colorado.
Prediction
The Rockies continue to struggle on the road as they have lost 7 of their last 8 games but they'll face Aaron Sanchez and they pounded him earlier in the season. The Rockies scored 9 runs on that game and beat the Nats. On the other hand Austin Gomber has good numbers against the Nationals so expect the Rockies to bounce back and tie this series.
