3 Units - #901 Washington / #902 St Louis (OVER 8) *8 EST
Both bullpens are susceptible to giving up runs, the Nats bullpen is not a thing of beauty and has not been all season and currently in their last 5 games has an 8.40 ERA. On top of that the Nats have 90 at plate bats against Mikolas this year and have hit him at .367 as a team. Considering both these teams showed some serious offense in their round 1 games, I like the over here, and expect it late. In their last 2 games combined these two teams scored 31 runs.

Rotation #901-902
Nationals/Cardinals Over 8 runs
Sanchez/Mikolas
A road teams best shot at winning a series is to steal game one. The Cardinals did just that in Atlanta in the last series because they were super aggressive on the bases. Washington has that same ability with team speed. Both teams have great stolen base potential that we should see put to work early and often tonight. The bullpens will go back to normal tonight which scares me if I am a Nationals fan. Both teams are coming off emotional wins. The Cardinals did it with the bats in the front end of their last game while the Nationals did it in the late stages. There should be a steady stream of offense that makes this high scoring. Take the Over.
