L.A. Dodgers at Washington 8:08 ET
Dodgers over Nationals- Well, I guess the demise of the Dodgers was short lived as they have bounced back to win their last four games after losing 15 of 16 games. Los Angeles has a seven game lead over Washington for the best record and home field advantage in the NL. Washington will send ace Stephen Strasburg (13-4, 2.64 ERA) to the hill who has gone 34 consecutive innings without allowing a run and is 1-2 with a 2.82 ERA in six starts against Los Angeles. The Dodgers will start Hyun-Jin Ryu (5-7, 3.59) who has had 10-days rest and is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA in five road starts since the All-Star break. The Nationals are in a bit of a slump scoring just nine runs in their last five games losing four. Take the DODGERS!
