This is an 8* on WASHINGTON

The Nationals wrapped up a busy Friday with a 15-3 win over the Orioles. Just prior to that, these two teams had to complete a suspended game from Sunday. Baltimore won that 6-2 as they were ahead 5-2 in the sixth when play was halted. Despite winning the second game in such convincing fashion, it was a pretty “bad” day for Washington. They lost Stephen Strasburg after just 16 pitches due to a nerve issue. Second baseman Starlin Castro broke his wrist. Despite these injuries, we still like the Nats to roll again here on Sunday. Baltimore has definitely overachieved to this point. No one expected this 11-8 start which included six straight wins before the 15-3 loss yesterday. This has been the worst team in baseball the last two years. Nationals starter Pat Corbin has been sharp in three outings so are (2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) while the Orioles send Wojciechowski out and he’s got a 5.40 ERA. Washington now averages over 7.0 runs/game on the road. Baltimore is averaging less than four per game at home. Play on WASHINGTON
