Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Washington had a great series with Milwaukee
The capital team has no contention for anything this season, having been firmly entrenched in the bottom of the standings since the start of the league season. That's why every win for the Nationals is as valuable as gold. Particularly in games against challengers. Before the series with Atlanta, Washington defeated Milwaukee 11-5, 8-6, 1-4. Brilliant success over one of the National League leaders.
Starting on the pitcher's mound for the Nationals will be Josiah Gray, 6-4 and a 4.33 ERA in 12 starts this season.
Atlanta on fire
Brian Snitker's team approaches the series against Washington on an eleven-match winning streak. The Braves took turns winning four games on the road against Colorado, then handled the Athletics twice in Oakland, and finally crushed Pittsburgh four times at home. Atlanta, which had a weak start to the championship, is getting wins. The Braves are now 34-27, just 5.5 wins behind the NL Central division leader New York Mets and as high as fifth place in the all-conference summary table.
Ian Anderson will pitch for Atlanta in the first game of the series with Washington, 5-3 and a 4.53 ERA in 12 starts.

Expert Betting Tips
Atlanta has picked up great form and will surely continue to win in the divisional series with Washington. The more so, the Braves lost the first encounter the Nationals this season, and it was a home one. Washington is missing a lot of points this season, thus not achieving stable results. After beating Milwaukee, the Nationals are unlikely to do well against another National League contender.
Prediction: Atlanta will win in a high-scoring match.
