OUR PREDICTION
Cole really struggles with left-handed hitters, which is a problem tonight pitching at SunTrust Park, which favors left-handed power hitters. The same can be said for Teheran and although he won’t face a lefty-heavy lineup tonight, Bryce Harper should light him up by himself. The over is 4-0-1 in Teheran’s last five home starts versus the Nationals and is 5-1-1 in his last seven outings versus Washington overall. I see this game being relatively high-scoring.
