The Washington Nationals will look to close the gap in the National League East to 4.5 games with a win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday Night Baseball. The Nats are a +130 underdog against Kevin Gausman and the Braves (-150).
Joe Ross (11.05 ERA, 2.11 WHIP) makes his first start of the season for Washington. It's also his first appearance with the big club since June 22 - when he went back to Triple-A to be stretched out following a horrendous couple of months out of the bullpen.

My Best Bet for Nationals vs Braves
OVER 11
I’ve got zero confidence that either of these pitchers are about to have a great outing while I have every confidence that the big bats are going to show up on Sunday Night Baseball in Atlanta.
Due to the unpredictability of the starting pitchers (and bullpens for that matter) I’m going to settle on a totals play … And life is too short to bet the UNDER.
