Play: Money Line: -174 Washington Nationals
PLAY: 3* Washington Nationals The Washington Nationals make the trip to the ATL for a three-game series against the host Atlanta Braves at the new SunTrust Stadium. The Braves are riding a five-game winning streak after sweeping the Padres in a four-game set with the final game on Monday night. The Braves trailing in the ninth sent Dansby Swanson and his .146 batting average on the season and currently 0-4 on the night to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. Swanson did what; he delivered an RBI single as the Braves swept the Padres with their 5 to 4 victory on Monday night in the Sun. Their streak ends today with Max Scherzer and the Nationals in town. Max Scherzer comes in with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 2.13 on the year. His lone start came in the City of Brotherly Love against the Phillies where he went 6.7 innings allowing two earned runs on four hits two walks and seven strikeouts in the win. We want to play ON MLB road favorites when their bullpen has allowed at least one run in two straight games. These road favorites are 472-339 for 58.2 percent winners and a profit of +2543. We are well above the odds we like to lay, for us this is an expensive play but a winner is just that a winner so we will lay the heavy chalk in the ATL on Tuesday night as the Nationals get the win in the Sun.
