(MLB) Washington vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -153.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
I look for the Braves to bounce back at home after getting shutout last night. Washington won last night and celebrated after winning the division. The Nationals clinched the NL East with their win against the Braves on Tuesday night. Naturally, the Nats were in a celebratory mood with beer and champagne last night. Look for a few of the Nationals regulars enjoy an evening off tonight and the team's focus has to be in question after a long night of partying. The Braves go with lefty Alex Wood. He's surrendered only 13 earned runs in his last nine starts and is really emerging as a major force on the mound for the Braves. Wood has been outstanding against the Nationals in his two seasons with the Braves, going 2-1 over five starts with a 1.48 ERA. The lefty-swinging LaRoche has gone 1 for 15 with a whopping 10 strikeouts against him in that time. It's also worth noting that the Braves are at least a bit more potent against lefties and they'll get to face a southpaw tonight as Gio Gonzalez makes the start for the Nats. Take the Atlanta Braves here as our NL Game of the Week.
