Rotation # 956
Nationals +105 over Braves (loss)
Griffin/Elder
The Nationals have been on a tear this month with their offense and actually play much better on the road than at home. It will be a hot night at Truist Park in Atlanta, so Washington will have a chance to put up a lot of runs. Nationals starter Foster Griffin has been a bright spot for the Nationals’ pitching staff and can go deep into a game to bypass the Nationals’ dreadful bullpen. Foster has the pitching edge over Bryce Elder tonight. Washington is hitting the ball better than anyone right now and should be able to get into the winner’s circle with the more reliable starting pitcher. Take the Nationals.
