Atlanta Braves (68-59) vs Washington Nationals (58-70)

You gotta take shots in the MLB and this is one that I think is worth taking. Lopez pitched well in his return but I think the Nationals provide a tougher matchup as the Phillies have been struggling vs. RHP, while the Nats are around league average in OPS and have a very low K rate in the last 30 days. The Braves have hit lefties well but Gore, who was struggling mightily going into this series, put up a 6.0 inning one-run performance in game one, so I think Herz can be decent here. Herz has a 4.15 ERA but an even lower 3.68 xFIP and 3.37 xERA. Herz is also in great form, giving up two earned or less in his last five. Give me the Nats ML at a great price.
