Preview
The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals meet again to play a 3-game series at the Nationals Park. The Braves won their last series against the Pirates and have won 11 games in a row while the Nationals beat the Brewers 2 of 3 times at home.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves get here with a 34-27 record and have won 11 games in a row. The team is averaging 4.60 runs per game with a .244 at bat while allowing 4.17 runs. Austin Riley is leading the team with 16 home runs and 35 RBI while Dansby Swanson has the better batting average with .290.
Kyle Wright leads the pitching staff with a 2.57 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 7 wins recorded for the Braves.
Probable Pitcher:
Ian Anderson (5-3, 4.53 ERA) will be on the mound for the Braves in the 1st game of the series. Anderson allowed 2 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5 across 6 innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Athletics.
Washington Nationals
The Nationals get here with a 23-39 record and have lost 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.2 runs per game but allowing 5.5 runs. Josh Bell has a batting average of .302, 7 home runs and 37 RBI. Juan Soto leads the team in home runs with 13.
Josiah Gray leads the team with a 4.33 ERA, 69 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded for the Nationals.
Probable Pitcher:
Josiah Gray (6-4, 4.33 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 1st game of the series. Gray didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, giving up 6 hits and a walk over 5 scoreless innings. He struck out six. He already faced the Braves earlier this season and pitched 5 scoreless innings and struck out 5 to earn the win.
BETTING TRENDS
Atlanta are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Atlanta are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against Washington.
Atlanta are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Atlanta are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against Washington.
Prediction
The Braves continue to stay hot and have won 11 games in a row but they're 1-2 against the Nats this season. Josiah Gray dominated them earlier this season throwing 5 scoreless innings as the Nats won 3-1 that game. Ian Anderson has been shaky this season and has allowed 15 runs in his last 4 starts. I can't go against the Braves right now but I think Gray will dominate them again so the total should stay under the 9 runs.
PICK: Under 9.5 (-110)
