Here are the reasons.
Nats croak LHP
I'll take the easy way out and just post the LHP spliits

This is a team that hurts LHP
In the Braves dugout, Upton (the good one) also hurts LHP.
Freeman has no problem either.
Here's my problem, Heyward is God awful against LHP. Hits a buck fitty-five.
Can't touch it.
Gattis murders LHP, hits .396.
Gattis can play OF some, yet Gonzo sits Gattis tonight, lets Laird catch.
Hey Fredi, here's a novel idea, sacrifice some defense, put Gattis in the OF, sit Heywards ass.
Or....
Sit Laird, put Gattis behind the plate.
But I digress, and I'll wrap this up.
Both lefties are good, but hittable, this is not Sale v. Kershaw here.
It's Wood against Gonzalez.
I think this game goes 5-4.
Over 6.5 3*
On paper, the Nats, with the better starter and LHP lineup looks like the side to bet.
But this is Sunday night baseball, I can't stand the Nats, but they are the play numbers wise.
I may play the Nats small, but love the over here.
3-3 after nine is a win.
Good luck fellas.
