The set-up: Trevor Bauer has gotten out to a decent start for his new team, but I think he's in over his head in the Nation's capital vs. Washington ace Stephen Strasburg. All things considered, I feel this is an extremely good price.

The pitchers: Bauer (10-8, 3.74 ERA) gave up one run over seven innings in a victory over the Cubs on Friday.

Strasburg (14-5, 3.72) most recently allowed three runs over seven innings in a no-decision to the Mets last week. Overall he's 4-1 with a 3.99 ERA in nine career starts vs. Cincinnati.

The pick: Washington won 3-1 yesterday, which was its sixth win in its last eighth. The Nationals got a bit boost to their line-up yesterday with Juan Soto and Brian Dozier, who each smacked a solo home run. I think Bauer takes a small step back in this difficult road venue. Lay the price.
