The Washington Nationals will host the Altanta Braves on Sunday afternoon, and Washington can complete the sweep here in Game 4. The Nats have out-scored Atlanta 28-5 through the first three games, and I am expecting another blowout here in this one.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Braves will send rookie Manny Banuelos to the mound, and he's looking to snap a three game losing streak. Banuelos (1-3, 3.33 ERA) allowed three runs on six hits over just 2.2 innings in a home loss to Miami in his last outing. He's surrendered nine runs on 18 hits over 11.2 innings in his last three outings. The Nats counter with Joe Ross, who has surrendered one run on seven hits over 13 innings, winning his last two home starts.
2. Home Cookin' - The Braves have lost 12 straight on the road, while Washington has won five in a row at home. Joe Ross is 4-2 with a 1.91 ERA in six starts at Nationals Park in 2015.
3. X-Factor - Bryce Harper is 5-for-11 with a pair of home runs and three RBIs in this series so far.
Selection: This is a play on the Washington Nationals 1.5 on the Run Line (10*)
