Stephen Strasburg hasn't been sharp lately, but he'll perk up seeing the Pirates. He's 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA in nine career starts versus the Pirates. Pittsburgh is on a 7-28 free-fall, while Washington has won seven of eight and is in a freakish offensive groove. Lay it.

Stephen Strasburg is 15-5 with a 3.82 ERA this season and 7-3 with a 3.94 ERA on the road. Chris Archer is 3-9 with a 5.23 ERA this season and 3-4 with a 3.98 ERA at home. The Nats have won 7 of their last 10 games and the Pirates have lost 7 of their last 10 games. This Nationals offense is on fire right now setting a franchise record for runs in the last three games. Chris Archer has been better recently, but I think the Nats bats are too much.
