The Braves offense is one of the most lethal in the league. They rank 3rd in runs per game, 7th in hits per game, 2nd in home runs and 9th in team batting average.
The Nationals rank 26th in runs per game and their pitching staff allows the most runs per game in the MLB. Atlanta is coming off a 12-2 win against WSH, and I see a similar result today.

Patrick Corbin comes into today with a 5.68 ERA and although he’s been decent last two starts, the law of averages implies a disaster today.
The home and away splits tell a bigger story. Washington is 16-25 while on the road, while Atlanta is 28-18 at home.
The last 5 times Atlanta has won at home, they have covered -1.5. Washington has lost 8 of their last 9 games and today is not the day they get it together. Go Braves!
