A series victory is at stake on Wednesday afternoon as Washington hosts Cincinnati. The Nationals’ Tanner Roark loves pitching at home where he has allowed just 2 runs and 14 hits in three games this season. He will face a Cincinnati team that has struggled to find their offense without Joey Votto and Jay Bruce in the lineup. The Reds are averaging 3.8 runs per game in the daytime. Washington’s bullpen continues to be a strength, especially at home where they own a 1.87 ERA on the season.
Alfredo Simon is 5-2 in eight starts for the Reds this season. However, he has allowed 8 runs and 18 hits in his last three starts. Simon only has 30 strikeouts in 51.3 innings of work as a starter. Washington’s offense is in good current form as the Nationals have scored 18 runs over their last three games. Cincinnati’s bullpen has been awful this season (5.09 E RA), and they are taxed a bit after the 15 inning game on Monday night. Washington has won 7 of their last 10 games at home versus Cincinnati, and we expect another solid home win on Wednesday afternoon.
