In yesterday’s game the Nationals beat the Braves 2-0.
On the season the Nationals have an Over/Under record of 14-12 with a run-line W/L record of 12-16 and the Braves have an Over/Under record of 14-13 with a run-line W/L record of 14-13.
This season the Braves are 8-3 at home and the Nationals are 5-7 on the road.
The Braves are 9-1 in their last 10 games facing the Nationals and 5-1 in their last 6 games facing them at home.
Dan Haren (2-3 6.29 ERA) goes for the Nationals tonight and in his last outing he gave up 2 earned runs in 6 innings in a win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Kris Medlen (1-3 3.26 ERA) is on the hill for the Braves and in his last start he gave up 5 earned runs in 5 innings in a loss to the Detroit Tigers. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
In his career facing the Braves in Atlanta Haren is 2-1 with an ERA of 7.31 and the 2 wins came way back in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Medlen dominated the Nationals last season only giving up 1 run and striking out 20 over 14 innings in 2 Atlanta wins.
Washington has many key players banged up and in their last 4 games their offense has struggled only batting .165 batting and scoring 7 runs. Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth, and Bryce Harper are all likely out for tonight’s game.
The Nationals will need a good outing from Haren, as they only rank 25th in the Majors in runs scored and 28th in team batting average.
In some betting trends for this NL East match up the Nationals are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win, 4 in their last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and they have an Over record of 15-5 in their last 20 road games.
The Braves are 2-5 in their last 7 games, 14-2 in Medlen’s last 16 home starts, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.
Jason’s Pick: I think Medlen will continue his dominance over the Nationals, as he will have a good outing tonight and the Braves will win this game and the series.
