Rating: 8*
The National League East-leading Washington Nationals are 2-5 in their last seven overall. They're off a 10-6 defeat to the Padres on Sunday, and while I think they're in for another loss Tuesday night I expect it to be of the low-scoring variety.
The American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians struggled at the plate over the weekend and scored just six runs while suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of Baltimore. Tonight they'll send Danny Salazar (11-3, 2.75) to the mound, and he hasn't lost a game since May 22, going 7-0 with a 3.16 ERA in his past nine starts. He must like the fact that Washington's Bryce Harper is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in his last three contests.
The Nats turn to Gio Gonzalez (6-8, 4.53 ERA) who has allowed three runs on seven hits and six walks in 11 2/3 frames through his last two turns combined. Nationals are 1-4 in Gonzalez's last five starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance and 1-4 in his last five road starts.
Under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings, under is 4-1 in Indians last five games following a loss and under is 4-1-1 in Gonzalez's last six interleague starts.
