This game is between Gore and the rookie pitcher Schwellenbach, who is starting for the first time this season in the league from the Minors. Gore has been solid for Washington and should keep them in this game as they are good enough to win it outright. They have already won a game in this series, and had a chance to win yesterday’s game, despite Atlanta having the better pitcher on the mound in that game. This is also a spot to wisely fade a rookie pitcher in a debut position because anything can happen. The Nationals have been profitable this season for bettors because they are mostly underdogs in their matchups so far this season, providing bettors with lots of lucrative opportunities. Getting some plus money in this spot is where the value lies. Good teams are not going to win all 160 games in a season, so getting underdogs in ideal spots like this is where bettors can make some money.

Best bet: take Washington on the moneyline (ML).
