the young nationals will be dealing with a ton of nerves, having to face their toughest task to date, trying to hold off atlanta for 1st place. Yes the Nats have strasburg going but Atlanta has had the advantage of already seeing him twice this year. In his career against the Braves SS, has an ERA over 4. Dan Uggla owns him hitting at an .883 clip with 1 HR and 8 RBIs while Chipper and and Freeman are hitting .500 in limited ABs and McCann at .400. Tommy Hanson is good enough to match Strasburgh pitch for pitch and the Braves are playing their best ball of the season, winners of 7 of their last 10.
really think the nerves of the young Nationals is going to take its toll on this game and series.
Braves +130
