The Nationals are still limited in the number of games played on the year and it shows. However, the Nationals are coming into the game here with a good chance to win as Ross is actually looking better in the pitching than the experienced veteran in Wainwright. The one thing that could cause a problem for the Nationals is if the game goes to the bullpen too early. Look for the Nationals, though, to come in pitching better, but also hitting better as Wainwright is not doing good on the year. Final Score, Washington Nationals win 4-2.
