Washington right-hander Josiah Gray has an unimpressive 3-5 win/loss record despite a respectable ERA of 2.73. He should get a decent amount of run support here though as Detroit hands the ball to left-hander Joey Wentz (1-3, 6.38 ERA) who is 0-2 with a 9.19 ERA in his four day stay starts this year. Additionally, the Nats are batting .286 while averaging 4.94 runs per nine innings against southpaws.
