The Washington Nationals are 4-1 in their last five games, and they have a chance to complete the sweep of this three-game series against the Reds on Sunday. I like their chances as the Reds are 0-4 on the season when looking to avoid a three-game sweep.

The All-Star break came at a good time for Nats right-hander Jake Irvin, who has given up 12 runs in his last two starts, but both those starts were on the road. Irvin has a solid 3.51 ERA home at Nationals Park and a 2.89 ERA in his daytime starts.

Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott has a 4.42 ERA in his daytime starts and the Nats are perfect 3-0 as favorites against left-handed starters.
