Washington at Pittsburgh

The Nationals have lost John Lannon's last three starts, and overall have won just 12 of his starts or 33%. The Nats are just 12-21 on the road where they have struggled for years. Ian Snell has pitched about an earned run over his career numbers, so the expectation is he has some good games in him,and what better place than against a struggling offense? The Nats have already had 12 games of two or less runs on the road and have been shutout four times. We will take the Pirates who have been good at home all season.
