Starters - Edwin Jackson will take the mound for the Nats tonight in hopes of helping the Nats bounce back from their worst loss of the year. After a very good start to the season that saw his era dip under 3 just 4 starts ago, he’s been terrible in his last 3 starts. He has his work cut out for him tonight against a Braves team that’s scored 11 runs in it’s last 5 innings. The Braves will counter with veteran right-hander Ben Sheets. Sheets made his first major league start since 2010 last week and pitched great, going 6 shut out innings. I think he’ll pitch well tonight against a Nats team still feeling the shock of losing a 9 run lead last night. Advantage Push
