Schule's MLB **CAPITAL PUNISHMENT** - STL@WAS
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Washington, 05/29/2016 9:35 AM, Score: 2 - 10
Money Line: -208.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Washington Nationals.

The Nats have been blown out in the last two games of this series, but I expect Washington to rain on the Cardinals parade here in the finale.

Stephen Strasburg will toe the slab for the Nats, and he's still undefeated in 2016. Strasburg (8-0, 2.79 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on four hits, striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings in a win over the Mets his last time out. It was the third time in his last four starts that he reach double digit strikeouts. He struck out nine batters in seven innings in a win at St. Louis earlier this season.

The Cardinals hand the ball to Michael Wacha, who has really fallen apart in recent weeks. Wacha (2-5, 5.04 ERA) was torched for eight runs on eight hits and four walks in a loss to the Cubs his last time out. He's failed to get past the fourth innings in each of his last three starts, and he's given up a total of 20 runs during that span.

Daniel Murphy leads the National League with a .390 batting average, and he's been even better at home where hes hitting .417. Murphy is 3-for-11 with a home run lifetime versus Wacha.

Take WAS.
