ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves, Monday at 7:10 PM ET

The Braves Touki Toussaint is coming off a rough start against the Yankees. He is likely in for another rough one here as he has a history of struggles against the Nationals and that has proven true even when he faces them at home where Toussaint normally pitches better. That being said, and with favorable weather conditions at hitter-friendly Truist Park expected tonight, this game has potential to turn into quite a slug-fest. Toussaint has an 8.59 ERA in his career against the Nationals and has walked 10 in just 7 and 1 / 3 innings of work when facing Washington. Last season against the Nats he gave up 2 homers in 6 and 1 / 3 innings. This season Toussaint had an outing featuring 4 scoreless innings against the Mets. However, in his other 3 outings he has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) in 13 and 1 / 3 innings. Per our computer math model, another rough outing is on tap here for Toussaint. Speaking of rough times ahead, the Nationals are starting Anibal Sanchez here. The right-hander has lost all 3 of his starts and compiled a 9.69 ERA so far this season. He has allowed 5 homers in 13 innings this season. Washington has scored an average of 7 runs per game L7 games. Atlanta is 7-2 in home games this season and has averaged scoring 6.4 runs per game in the 7 victories. Bet the OVER in the Atlanta Braves game in early evening action Monday.
