Washington Nationals
The Nats slide into this evening’s matchup sporting a 36-28 record that ranks them 2nd in the NL East. Currently, Washington is 1-game behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves. With a 1-3 record in their last 4 matchups, Washington is in desperate need of a rebound. Unfortunately for them, they’ll be playing on the road against one of the best teams in the league this evening. On top of that, Washington is coming off a 3-0 loss to New York. This has undoubtedly forced tonight’s MLB sports betting odds to peg the Nats as an underdog once again. To help prove the odds makers wrong, Washington will be starting Erick Fedde this evening. Fedde brings a 0-1 record to the mound as well as a 1.24 WHIP and a 4.76 ERA.
Players to Watch: Howie Kendrick (4 HR, 12 RBI, .303 BA), Matt Adams (13 HR, 36 RBI, .264 BA), and Bryce Harper (19 HR, 43 RBI, .228 BA).

Unfortunately for New York, it looks like Boston is doing an even better job of keeping up. This rivalry is shaping up like never before and MLB betting fans should keep a close watch as the season progresses. Sonny Gray will get the start on behalf of new York this evening. He brings a 4-4 record with him as well as a 4.81 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP.
