He struck out four batters. He has allowed 2 runs on 4 hits with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 5 innings versus the Pirates in his career. He has been credited with the win.
BETTING TRENDS
Pittsburgh are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games on the road.
Pittsburgh are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games when playin
Washington are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games.
Washington are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Prediction
The Nationals managed to beat the Rangers on the road but they return home where they are losing the 69% of the time this season. They will face a Pirates team that were swept in their last series and have been terrible on the road. The Nats get here in better shape and Fedde is coming from a great start vs Orioles. Pittsburgh haven't announced their starting pitcher but still I think the Nationals take care of business at home.
