The Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves face off on Wednesday in an MLB game at SunTrust Park. The Braves have won the first two games of this series and the pitching has been good in each of the games. 

The Braves sit with a 93-55 record overall and they have won five games in a row. Over the last five games the offense has given up only 11 runs total and they need to continue the success with the pitching in this game. The Braves offense has been the strength this season averaging 4.94 runs per game which is 3rd in the league. Austin Riley has hit 37 home runs and driven in 92 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Nationals who sit with a 51-97 record overall and they have lost three games in a row. Over the last three games, the Nationals have scored only five runs total, and they need to find a way to get the offense going here. The Nationals offense hasn’t been great this season, but even worse has been the pitching. The Nationals are giving up 5.3 runs per game which is 29th in the league. 

On the mound for the Braves will be Max Fried who sits with a 13-6 record and an ERA of 2.52. In his last start he went six innings giving up four hits and two runs. 

The Braves are 8-1 in Fried's last 9 starts with 4 days of rest. The Nationals are 0-5 in their last five road games. The under is 6-1 in the Braves last seven games overall. The under is 5-1 in the Nationals last six games on Wednesday. 

The Nationals' bats have been ice cold heading into this game, and they are going to not get any better going against Fried. Fried sits with an ERA of 2.52 and this is a game where they are going to struggle to get even on the board. Look for the Braves to score at least four or five runs here and the Braves will win this game on the run line.
