The Washington Nationals have been terrible this season and I believe we are getting some good line value today with Boston even though this is the first start for Smoltz this season. On get away day I am hearing that Washington is going to sit their best hitter Adam Dunn today and that is big for Boston in this series. Boston has dominated the Nationals in this series winning both games by 2 runs and 8 runs which is a 5 run average. Zimmermann is pitching for the Nationals today and he has been not bad in his last 4 starts but run support has been a problem only averaging 2 runs of support in his last 3 games. Nationals are 12-25 at home this season which is 13 games under .500 at home. Boston has won 8 out of there last 9 road games and are looking for the sweep today in Washington which should be easy for them to get. We believe that Boston should be a big favorite in this game because of a 3 ER difference in the bullpens average and we see Boston winning this game in the 6th-9th innings today.
