10* NL Game of the Week
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Washington,
Money Line: -148.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
The Nats scored 18 runs on 19 hits on Saturday and I expect more of the same here on Sunday.
The worst thing for a struggling pitching staff in the National League is a date with the Washington Nationals, and the Cincinnati Reds are not putting up much of a fight. The Reds will try to get some length out of their starter and avoid another sweep here on Sunday.

The Reds are 1-13 over their last 14 contests and are in danger of suffering their fourth three-game sweep in that span. Washington leads the majors with 422 runs scored and pounded on Cincinnati Saturday,

Washington starter Roark is coming off his worst start in a while - a 2 2/3-inning stint at Miami on Monday in which he was rocked for six runs on six hits and two walks. Roark is 1-1 with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts against the Reds and I like him to bounce back here at home.

The Nationals bats are on fire including 2B Daniel Murphy who recorded an extra-base hit in each of the last eight games and recorded 11 RBIs in that span.

Also, Ryan Zimmerman is 6-for-13 with five RBIs in the last three contests. Take the NATIONALS to get us another 10* win on Sunday.
