Washington plays its sixth consecutive road contest. The bullpen ranks 26th with a 4.63 ERA. Cincinnati has a winning home record and plays its sixth straight at home. The offense is 10th in the majors in steals. Starter Chase Burns (2.11 ERA) has a 48-to-16 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 47 innings, while holding batters to a .196 average, making this a great situational and matchup spot for the home team. Favorites in extended home stands are flourishing early this season, going 25-11 (69%) against road warriors like the Nats. Play Cincinnati.
