The Washington Nationals snapped a five-game losing streak with an 11-6 win over the Braves on Tuesday. I like the Braves to bounce back and win this battle between two left-handers.

Atlanta's Drew Smyly (2-3, 5.95 ERA) was lit up in his last outing against Boston on May 26, allowing seven runs in 5 1/3 innings, but note that he had allowed only four earned runs in 18 innings through his previous three starts. Smyly has made two starts against the Nationals this year, posting a 1-0 record with a 1.50 ERA.

Washington's Jon Lester (0-2, 4.91 ERA) has yet to earn a winning decision this year, and the team is 2-4 in his six starts. Lester took on the Braves on May 6, when he gave up all three runs through five innings of a 3-2 loss.

8* play on Atlanta Braves.
