The Atlanta Braves are rolling into Nationals Park with a respectable 14-7 record, looking to rub it in on the struggling Washington Nationals, who are 9-12. It's Reynaldo Lopez (RHP, #40) versus Jake Irvin (RHP, #27), with the first pitch coming at 6:45 PM ET on ESPN Unlmtd. Lopez has been a force to be reckoned with, boasting a 1-0 record with a 2.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 20.2 innings, while Irvin has been...well, let's just say he's got some work to do, sporting a 1-2 record with a 6.16 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 19.0 innings.
The Braves are bringing a team ERA of 2.70 to the table, which is basically a cruel joke to the Nationals' 5.92 ERA. And if that's not enough, Atlanta's batting average of .278 is a nice little cherry on top compared to Washington's .259. Of course, the Braves have their own set of problems, with Raisel Iglesias (Day-To-Day) and Blake Burkhalter (7-Day IL) on the injury list. Still, it's hard to see them losing too much sleep over it.
