Mike Soroka is 10-2 with a 2.44 ERA this season and he is 6-0 with a 1.19 ERA on the road. However, in two starts against the Nationals this season he has given up four earned runs in eight innings giving him one of his two losses. Anibal Sanchez is 6-6 with a 3.66 ERA this season but since returning from the IL in May, he is 6-0 with a 2.59 ERA. Against the Braves he is 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA. This should be closer to a coin flip, take the value in the Nats.

The Braves' offensive surge came back Tuesday to the tune of 11 runs. They’ll aim to win their road series against the Nationals in an early Wednesday matchup. In order to get the job done the Braves will need pitcher Mike Soroka to regain form. He did not make it through five innings his last start. He’s been hit hard in the month of July but look for Soroka to get the run support he needs. Anibal Sanchez does not escape this start and gets his first loss since May 10.
