Shane’s Free Pick

The Nationals offense has been a major issue all season, and it’s not going to be any different in this game. Chad Kuhl had some issues last year sitting with an ERA of 5.72 and the Rays are going to score at least six runs here. The Nationals won’t be keeping up with their offense, and the Rays are going to get the job done. Back Tampa Bay -1.5.
