Betting Tip
The defending champion Atlanta Braves got yet another win on Tuesday, pushing their winning streak up to 13 games. This time it was 10-4 over the Washington Nationals and they will now go for the road series sweep on Wednesday. The Nationals are shaping up to be one of the worst teams in all of baseball for the season and happen to be playing the hottest team at the moment.
It’s a recipe for disaster and it has shown as the Braves have outscored them 19-9 in the first two games of this series. Don’t expect much to change in the series finale as Braves pitcher Spencer Strider gets the start and is coming off his best outing of the year. Strider is 2-2 for the season with a 2.35 ERA. The Nationals will start Erick Fedde tonight who is 4-4 for the season with a 4.87 ERA. Atlanta will keep the momentum with another comfortable win in the nation’s capital tonight.
