No Harper or Adams for Nats
Ahh Harper explains it. I knew Adams was out. I still like Nats as dogs though. Sanchez had a couple nice outings for the Braves and then got smacked around in his last one. And prior to this season hadn't been able to get major league hitters out for a couple years. Hellickson doesn't pitch all that deep into games (averages just over 5 IP per start) but he's been fantastic while he's in there. 34/7 K/BB and has only given up more than 2 ER in a start once all year (and it was 3 ER). ERA of 2.30 YTD (8 starts). I'm gonna add a bet on Nats first five +100 too given that Hellickson tends to not go much past 5 and Atlanta's bullpen overall may be a little better than Washington's (esp it you take out Nats closer Doolittle from that comparison).
