Scherzer is 4-2, with an ERA of 2.80, a WHIP of 0.95, and has been dominant against the Braves. Washington is 6-0 in Scherzer’s last 6 starts against the Braves and the Nationals are 10-4 in their last 14 trips to Atlanta. The 43-year old Bartolo Colón gets the nod for the Braves and he has seen better days. Colón is 2-4, with an ERA of 6.80, a WHIP of 1.47, and Atlanta is 3-9 in their last 12 home games.
