OUR PREDICTION
The Nationals have been an outstanding money line play with Scherzer on the mound facing the Braves. They’re 5-1 in his last six road starts against Atlanta and are 8-2 in his last 10 outings versus the Braves overall. The Nationals have beaten the Braves in 40 of the last 58 meetings between these two teams so they’ve been profitable no matter who is on the mound facing Atlanta. Still, with the moneyline being as pricey as it is, the play for me is the over, which is 24-10-1 in the last 35 meetings between these two teams. In fact, the over is 13-6 in his last 19 outings when facing the National League East.
