As the Braves face the Nationals, Spencer Strider takes the mound for his first start since April 16. Strider, with a 3.60 ERA, aims to build on his previous performance against the Nationals, while Mitchell Parker of Washington, sporting a 4.32 ERA, struggles after a tough outing in Atlanta. Both teams enter this matchup following a series of strong performances—Atlanta clinched a series win at Fenway, while the Nationals swept the Orioles with a powerful offensive display.

The current odds favor the Braves at -188 with a projected total of 8 runs. Leading hitters include Austin Riley for Atlanta, who has been on fire, hitting in seven of his last eight games. For Washington, Dylan Crews seems to be in a slump and will need to step up to support Parker on the mound.
