Washington Nationals
On a 12-3 tear vs. their last fifteen opponents, Washington is MLB’s hottest team as the summer months reach full swing. Lockdown pitching has sparked the Nationals’ rise into NL East contention. And tonight Washington can begin gaining prime ground on an Atlanta Braves club they trail by 7.5 games for the division lead.
However, as Washington’s fortunes rise, Atlanta owns consecutive victories over the Nats. This season, though, the Nationals are 3-2 vs. Atlanta with staff ace Stephen Strasburg opening tonight.
This matchup has all the makings of a dog fight NL East encounter.

A 2019 All Star snub, Strasburg (11-4, 3.46 ERA) leads the NL in wins and has carried Washington’s torch while winning seven-of-eight starts. Among those wins is a June 21 grinder vs. Atlanta where Strasburg worked six innings, giving up five hits, three runs and three walks as the Nats prevailed 4-3. This season the three time All Star is 2-0 against the Braves.
Atlanta Braves
Equally hot, as of this writing National League east kingpin Atlanta is 8-1 in their last nine, and undefeated (4-0) since the All Star break. Well balanced, the Braves have used timely offense and solid pitching to wear opponents down in close contests.
Now among MLB’s elite, Atlanta has a tough task ahead this evening against rival Washington.

Free Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction:
The stakes are high tonight as each club seeks to establish dominance in what will become a classic first place vs. second place divisional struggle.
Atlanta opens as the favorite -and with good reason considering the Braves are undefeated (as of this writing) since the All Star break. However, in this evenly-matched scrum Stephen Strasburg will make a larger impact than Julio Teheran.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Washington Nationals ATS
And with all other factors currently even, Strasburg’s ability to limit Atlanta’s generally live bats will carry the day as Washington adds just enough offense to edge a low-scoring affair.
