The Washington Nationals dropped the first 2 games of the Beltway Series to the Baltimore Orioles but will try to get one back when the series switches to Washington tonight. Tanner Roark gets the call for the Nats and he has been outstanding. In Roark’s last 3 starts, he is 2-0, with an ERA of 1.77 and a WHIP of 1.08. That can’t be said about the lefty Wade Miley who will get the nod for Baltimore tonight. Miley is 0-1 over his last 3 starts, with an inflated ERA of 10.50 and a WHIP of 2.08. In Miley’s last start on Friday against the Astros, he was lit up, yielding 6 runs on 6 hits in just 1-2/3 innings. The Nats are 14-3 in Roark’s last 17 starts and 6-1 in his last 7 home outings. Washington has had success against lefties, going 7-3 in their last 10 against them.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Nationals
