#Nationals vs. Braves prediction: Take Max Scherzer in NL East clash

They’re turning the page in D.C. The Redskins are gone. Hail to the Washington Football Team! A fitting moniker for what may be the worst team in the NFL. They’re 300-1 to win the Super Bowl, but we took the ex-Skins and the points against the visiting Igles Sunday. Taking the Washington Baseball Team as well. The defending champs have gone from first to worst, but Max Scherzer (4-2, ERA 3.40) continues to provide quality starts. Shut out the Rays for seven innings in his latest outing, fanning eight. The first-place Braves are in. Kyle Wright (0-4, ERA 8.05) has allowed 12 runs over his past 13 innings. Though Atlanta is a World Series contender, they have been a .500 team on the road. Tough baseball/football seasons in D.C., but this may prove to be a capital day in the nation’s capital. Play 20 units on the Nats.

Here come the Yankees! Winning streak is at four after edging the Orioles. 2-1 in 10 innings. Jordan Montgomery (one run, unearned, over 5 ²/₃) with his best outing of the season. Bullpen backed him up, allowing one hit the rest of the way. Win returns us to -373 sparkylyles.
