Las Vegas at Washington

The A's were playing pretty good baseball, but they lost the last two games of their homestand to Arizona, and they will begin a road trip in Washington tonight. Their pitching issues resurfaced as they allowed 13 runs in the pair of losses. Washington is coming off a brutal series with the sizzling Milwaukee Brewers, where they were swept by a combined score of 38-14. Things should be a bit easier tonight vs. the Athletics. The Athletics have had trouble all season after a loss, with a record of 27-37 on the season. The Athletics have also struggled in interleague play, where they are a woeful 13-23. Washington is in a good spot as the Nationals are 23-14 at home vs. a right-handed starter. Make the play on Washington.
