I really like the Braves here especially coming off a lost in 15 innings last night. Not only are they 10-1 in their last 11 following a loss, but they saved their bullpen more than the Nationals. Gio Gonzalez has also struggled during day games (5.37 ERA this year), and against the Braves (ERA over 5 in his career) and is also on 4 days rest for a day game. He's had 3 starts this year alone vs. the Braves on 4 days rest posting 7.31 ERA. Meanwhile Julio Teheran is on 5 days and posts 2.93 ERA at home 2.21 ERA during day games and a 3.75 in 4 starts vs. the Nationals. Braves are hitting lefties pretty well at home 5.40 runs per 9 while the Nationals are under 4 runs. Washington is just 7-20 in their last 27 as a road dog and should lose this game.
