Washington at Toronto

Max Scherzer has been his old self his last three starts allowing only one run in 19 innings, and all three games ended in shutouts for Washington. Toronto hitters are batting a combined .066 in 56 at-bats against Scherzer, and opposing batters are hitting just .161 against him this season. Toronto has just played eight road games in a row, and it is 12-25 its past 37 interleague games overall and 9-21 its past 30 interleague games against right-handed starters. Trent Thornton will make only his second start, and he might just go a couple of innings in what figures to be a bullpen game for the Blue Jays. Washington is 12-4 its past 16 interleague road games, and the Nationals have won five of their last six games following a loss. Play the Nationals.
