Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

Both pitchers are running the risk of getting lit up early here, in which case they would have to hand over the ball to a pair of taxed bullpens prone to give up runs.

Atlanta's R.A. Dickey (4-4, 4.73 ERA) allowed just one run on three hits in seven innings of a 3-1 home win against the Phillies his last time out, but he's regularly been knocked around on the road this season. Over is 3-1-1 in Dickeys last five road starts. The current Nationals roster own a combined .289 batting average against the veteran knuckleballer.

Washington turns to Joe Ross (3-2, 6.16 ERA) who held Baltimore to one run on four hits through 7 1/3 frames his last turn. Ross has still had a rough season though and he's posted 5.02 ERA in three career starts against Atlanta. Over is 7-1-1 in Ross' last nine starts overall.

Over is 12-2 in Braves last 14 Tuesday games. Over is 6-1 in Nationals last seven Tuesday games. Over is 8-0 in the last eight meetings at Nationals Park.
