This is an 8* on ATLANTA

The finale of a four-game series between the top two teams in the NL East (set for Sunday night on ESPN) has seen a pitching change on the Washington side with Joe Ross replacing Austin Voth. This may seem inconsequential to some, but Ross has not started a major league game this season. He does have experience in the role (48 career starts) but his history vs. Atlanta isn't good as it's a 7.40 ERA in six games. The Braves, who are looking to earn a split of this series, are going with Kevin Gausman. Gausman hasn't appeared in the bigs since June 10th. He's been sidelined with plantar fasciitis, but looked good in his rehab start down for Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta is 19-9 as a home favorite of -125 to -175 and we can't see them losing three of four here to the Nationals. Play on ATLANTA
