Nationals @ Braves Game Day Pitching Preview

Despite some recent struggles against Washington, we like getting veteran RHP Tim Hudson (13-8 3.10 ERA) on the hill for the Braves tonight. Hudson has owned the Nationals with a 12-3 record, and a 1.97 ERA, in his last 21 starts against them.

He has lost two of his last four against Washington but he tossed a one run gem against them on July 15, 2011, to get the Braves their 10,000 win in franchise history.

RHP Chien-Ming Wang (2-2 3.82 ERA) will toe the rubber for the Nationals who are 16.5 games back of the Braves for the National League Wild Card playoff berth. Wang has been serviceable for the Nationals but he is over-matched in this contest.

MLB Betting Lines: Braves vs. Nationals Free Pick

We surf over to the sportsbook at the JustBet.com online sports wagering website to furnish the MLB betting lines that power tonight’s Free Pick.

Atlanta would like to lock up their Wildcard berth sooner rather than later. While they have a “comfortable” 8.5 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals, no lead is safe in baseball.

Look for the Braves leader in innings pitched, and wins, to nail down the Nationals in this one!
