AAA's 3-GM TUE DESTRUCTION PASS (B2B WINNING DAYS AT BALLPARK, +$16K Y-T-D!)
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Washington,
Money Line: -219.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on the Washington Nationals

Setting the scene: One of these starters returns from the DL and is being thrown to the wolves, while the other has turned the corner and is poised to finish the season strong. One of these starters plays for one of the worst offensive clubs in the league, while the other plays on one of the best. In a contest which we predict will end in a completely lop-sided result, we have no issues at all in laying this larger price.

Williams Perez: He's 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA. Perez returns from the 60 day DL because of a shoulder issue. He posted the 4.62 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP before the injury. Note that he was 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA on the road.

Gio Gonzalez: He's 10-9 with a 4.14 ERA. Most recently he gave up one run off two hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in a victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday. Over his last seven starts the veteran has gone 4-1 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Note that Gonzalez is striking out nearly a batter per innning this season.

The bottom line: Gonzalez owns a 2.31 ERA in two starts against the Braves this season. In two starts against Washington this year, Perez has posted a 5.62 ERA. Gonzalez gets the big nod in this matchup, so the only question left is, will the home side come in focused? We think the answer is "yes." Washington has a big opportunity to grab some "easy" victories, with a series at home against the lowly Phillies next and we expect it to make the most of it. Lay the price with confidence on the NATIONALS.
