Atlanta at Washington

The Atlanta Braves have had little success in recent years. At the beginning of the season, they were projected to win fewer than 70 games. They have started strong at 6-5, and some of the moves they have made to bolster the lineup have so far looked pretty good. The Braves are averaging 5.73 runs per contest through 11 games, while their pitching remains vulnerable. Washington's pitching is considered the team's strength, but has yet to deliver. So far the Nats' staff has allowed five runs or more in more than half of their games. The Braves had played Washington tough, and have feasted on their strong pitching, averaging 5.78 runs per game in the last 18. Play on the OVER.
