*Note: David still likes the play even with the pitching change to Washington, But he is downgrading it to a BB of the Week.

Washington is 4-16 in its last 20 home games, three games worse than any other team. The Nationals also have by far been the worst home team when it comes to money line profit this season. With the trade deadline looming, we could see some Nationals shipped before this game.
On the other side, St. Louis looks like they will be in a tight battle to get into the postseason this year, and they need to take advantage of games like this.
Starting for the Cardinals will be Dakota Hudson who has a 2.93 ERA in six career games against Washington. The Nationals will be starting Erick Fedde who has a 7.11 ERA over his last four starts and has issued 24 hits, 13 walks and five home runs, against just 11 strikeouts over his last 19 innings pitched.
The Cardinals are 18-8 in their last 26 games against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, but the Nationals are 1-8 in their last 9 games against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
Take the Cardinals.
