This is a 4* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Washington Nationals.

The visitors hand the ball to Matt Wisler (5-5, 5.22 ERA) who gave up two runs off four hits over six innings with four walks in a loss to the Yanks on Saturday. Wisler looked a lot better than his previous start in which he was shelled for seven runs over 2 2/3's innings vs. the Cubs, but note a continued hot streak is not very likely here today as he's struggled in this spot all season by going a poor 2-4 with a ballooned 6.53 ERA away from friendly confines. The home side counters with Jordan Zimmermann (11-8, 3.45 ERA) who is coming off a gem, giving up one run off seven hits over seven innings, while striking out four in a victory over the Marlins on Saturday. That Nats are obviously feeling pretty comfortable in this position as Zimmermann is 6-3 with a 2.58 ERA in front of the home town crowd thus far. Some times a favorite is a favorite for a reason, in our opinion the massive talent discrepancy on the mound today absolutely justifies in laying the larger price; play on the NATIONALS.
