The Washington Nationals and St. Louis Cardinals will meet for their second series this season. Last week, Jack Flaherty limited the Nationals to just three hits, but needed 96 pitches to get through five innings. Look for the Nationals to take advantage this time around as Flaherty has not put together three straight strong outings since August 2018. Play the Nationals.

Is Joe Ross someone we can trust? After two outings and a great spring, the answer is closer to yes. He shut the Dodgers down in five innings of a 1-0 loss and then came back in his second start to shut down the Cardinals 6-0 in six innings of work. Jack Flaherty’s last two starts have been business as usual -- four hits, one earned run, and 12 K’s over 11 innings. The Under is the top play Monday.

Jack Flaherty and Joe Ross faced the opposing team when these teams matched up last week. Flaherty threw five innings allowing one run, while Ross did not allow a run in six innings. Flaherty struggles on the road and Ross has looked like the Nationals ace so far in his two starts this season, which include a six-inning shutout of the Dodgers. The Nats should be upset they’re just 2-2 on this homestand so far and I like the value in them at home with plus money.
