(MLB) Washington vs. LA Dodgers,
Money Line: 113.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Washington Nationals
Rating: 10/10*

Two of the hottest teams in baseball will do battle at Dodger Stadium Monday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Washington Nationals.

The Nats hand the ball to Gio Gonzalez (4-1, 3.03 ERA). The left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.69 ERA in five career starts versus the Dodgers who turn to another southpaw in Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-5, 3.91 ERA). The 30 year old will take on the Nats for the first time, but note that the Dodgers are 0-7 in Ryu's last seven starts vs. a team with a winning record and that the Nats have the third best batting average and very best slugging percentage and on-base percentage against left-handers across the major leagues this season.

The Nats hold the best record in the National League, and they'll be looking to avenge last season's exit from the playoffs.
