I can't see the Blue Jays sweeping the Nationals. Washington is the superior team in all aspects and has a pitching edge with Tanner Roark facing righty Sam Gaviglio.

The Nationals have won 20 of their last 27 games versus righthanded starters.

Roark is a solid middle-of-the-road type pitcher. He has a 3.03 ERA in 21 career interleague games, including 18 starts.

Gaviglio isn't likely to remain in Toronto's starting pitching rotation. He's coming off a game in which he allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks in just 3 1/3 innings against the light-hitting Rays this past Monday. Gaviglio has a 7.04 road ERA this season.
