Stephen Nover Free MLB Monday Play
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Washington,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -125.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
The Braves have won 11 in a row. But on closer inspection the feat isn't as impressive as it may seem. Atlanta has won seven of its last nine games by two runs or less, or in extra innings. The Braves' last 10 games have come against three terrible teams - Pirates, A's and Rockies.

The Nationals just took two of three from the Brewers at home. Their bats have heated up. Washington has scored 8 or more runs in four of its last nine games.

The starting pitching matchup looks sneaky good, too, for the Nationals.

Braves starter Ian Anderson has a 4.53 ERA. Washington starter Josiah Gary has a 4.33 ERA. However, Gray is in good form giving up just two runs during his last 16 innings. He has a 2.25 career ERA versus Atlanta in three appearances.
