Olsen starting for Nats...replacing Stammen

I like the Nats here, Olsen sucks against Atlanta but at home he's 1-0 in 2 starts with an era under 3.

His previous numbers mean nothing. He was great early. but he's been DL'ed for so long Im not sure it matters. Do you really know what youre gonna get from him today?
Lowe has been getting hit and the Braves cant win for him lately. They have been scoring a little more for him (17 in his last 2) but struggled ridiculously in his previous however many.
I like the over.

Olsen won't go long (probably 5) and the Washington bullpen has been solid as of late. I like the under though as I don't trust the Nats bats and two good bullpens will keep it under.

Waiting for lineups to make sure Chipper is in the lineup today. If Chipper is playing, I'm on the Braves. Nats bullpen has pitched a lot of innings this week and Olsen will not be going more then five. Lots of chances for the Braves to put runs on the board.

I'm on the Braves regardless. They are the better team. I wouldn't overthink this one.

Love the Nats +1.5 and open a thread with very good stats in their favor.
