Not only does one anticipate Atlanta starter Bud Norris will have difficulties on the road versus the Nats his second time around, Atlanta’s bullpen has allowed 17 earned runs on 24 hits with 14 walks in 17 2/3 innings. We don’t expect any improvement now that they are on the road.
While Norris enjoyed some success versus the Nationals at home in his first game with the Braves, this is a pitcher who went 3-11 with a 6.72 ERA playing for Baltimore and San Diego last season.
Four bats (Murphy, Rasmos, Espinosa, Werth) in tonight's lineup have at least a 99 mph exit velocity against Norris in 15 PAs or more, according to Rotogrinders.
Then there is Bryce Harper, who managed to go 2-for-3 Sunday with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI.
The total for this game is a mere 7.5 so Gambling911.com highly recommends the OVER.
