Washington at Atlanta

The Washington Nationals have been playing some good baseball, as they have opened the season at 9-5. The Braves after a slow start, have fared well in their last seven games, collecting five wins. Stephen Strasburg has seen the Nationals post a losing record over his last seven starts, dating back to the end of last season. I think the Braves are playing well enough to hang around here as in 73 road starts by Strasburg, the Nats have won by an average of less than one run per contest. Strasburg owns just an 8-8 record on the road vs. Atlanta in his career, and a 3.85 ERA. R.A. Dickey owns a career ERA vs. the Nats that is slightly better at 3.68. This one looks like a one-run game either way, so I will side with Atlanta on the runline.
