Pick

Texas is coming off of a series loss to the Red Sox and they are watching their lead in the AL West shrink. Washington is one of the worst teams in the National League and they were just swept by Cincinnati. Washington is starting Trevor Williams, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Texas is starting Cody Bradford, who has allowed three earned runs in his last 7.1 innings of work. Bradford allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings in his last start against Detroit. I like the Nationals here.
