The Washington Nationals are heading to Saint Louis to face a very good Cardinals home team. The downside is the Nationals are only a fairly decent road team and has a record that has them sitting 5 games over the five hundred mar this year when playing on the road. One good thing that the Nationals do have going for them is they are almost guaranteed to finish over the five hundred mark overall, unless they lose the rest of the season.
The Cardinals are a team that has really been impressive at home this year. The Cardinals have found themselves sitting a total of 20 games over the five hundred mark on the year so far at home. However, the Cardinals are also leading the Central and would like to put more ground between them and the second and third place teams who are battling on the year to make it hard for the Cardinals to lock down the division.

The Cardinals are playing at home and have been very hard to beat at home. However, this game is a major pitchers battle as Starsburg and Hudson have both been playing at the top of their game and that will provide a great game. Look for the Nationals to be the team that barely gets out the win as Strasburg is able to go a little bit deeper in the game and keep the game in his hands, instead of the bullpen. Final Score, Washington Nationals win 3-2.
