The Beltway Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals concludes tonight, and the Nationals will try to salvage one game out of the 4-game set. The Nationals will call on Max Scherzer to stop the bleeding. Scherzer is 13-7, with a 3.05 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP and is 2-1 with an ERA of 1.17 in 3 outings against the American League in 2016. Since Chris Tillman is on the DL, Ubaldo Jiménez is back in the rotation and will get the start tonight for the Orioles. Jiménez is 5-10 on the season, with an ERA of 6.94, a WHIP of 1.91, and Baltimore is 1-8 in his last 9 road starts. With that being said, and with the Nationals 5-1 in Scherzer’s last 6 starts, I’m leaning Washington.
Tonight’s Pick:
Washington Nationals
