Like last Monday vs. the Padres when pitching just the first inning, Shohei Ohtani's appearance on the mound for Sunday is likely to be brief as an effective opener for the second straight time on the mound, as this is likely another bullpen game for Dave Roberts. Give the Nats some credit for playing the Dodgers tough, and they can sew up the season series if they succeed on Sunday as they did again last night when CJ Abrams homered for the second straight night in a 7-3 win. The Nats seem to have shaken the cobwebs from their recent 11-game skid, and Michael Soroka's efforts in the rotation haven't been bad this month (3.71 ERA in three starts). Play Nats on Run Line
