The Braves start John Thomson, 0-0, 0.00 ERA. His last trip was a no decision, a 4-3 team loss against the Padres, when he threw 6 innings, allowing 0 runs on 1 hits.
Atlanta brings an 8-9 overall mark (3-4 in the division) into this game versus a Washington team carrying a 7-10 record.
The Braves come in as slight 120 road favorites and look to improve on their 5-6 road mark for the year. The Nationals, 7-10, are 1-3 at home and will try to bite big as a dog. Totals bettors see the line opened at 8.5.
Bobby Cox's team hopes to rebound from a 7-3 loss at the hands of the Nationals. They were pick in a game that went over the total.
The Braves need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base. They rank #16 in the league, whiffing 8.3 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
ATL: J. Thomson (0-0, 1.23)
WAS: R. Ortiz (0-2, 7.31)
