The Washington Nationals will take on the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of their four-game series. They took the first game on Monday. Paolo Espino will get the nod for the Nationals. He is 0-6, with a 4.22 ERA this season. The Cardinals will look for a win by sending Jose Quintana to the mound. He is 4-6, with a 3.47 ERA. Washington is 6-4 in its last 10 games against St. Louis. The Nationals have won four of their last five games. The Cardinals have won seven of their last eight games and nine of their last 10 home games. Espino has given up 11 runs in his last four starts and he gave up four runs in his only start against the Cardinals. The Nats have lost four of their last seven games on the road. Quintana hasn’t given up more than two earned runs in eight straight starts. He gave up four runs in his last two starts against the Nationals. I look for the Cardinals to bounce back big in this one.

Play on St. Louis on the run-line.
