LP: J. Irvin (WSH) / G. Holmes (ATL).

Dating back to last season Jake Irvin has allowed 2 ER or Less in 16 of his last 23 road starts. He wasn't great in his most recent road start, but he was in his first two, allowing 2 combined runs on 13.1 IP. He's allowed more than 2ER in back-to-back road starts just once since the start of last year. He's also allowed more than 3 ER in back-to-back starts just once in his career too, those same two starts. He made 4 starts against Atlanta last season, 2 at home and 2 on the road. He tossed 6 shutout innings in each of his first 2 starts, allowed 2 ER on 5.1 IP @ ATL in his 3rd, and 1 ER on 6 IP at Home in his last. In those 4 starts combined he's allowed just 1 run through the first 5 innings. Washington has the worst bullpen in baseball and that's why we're going first 5 innings.

ATL SP Grant Holmes has been very inconsistent. He allowed 4 ER on 5.1 IP vs CIN his last time out, 2 ER on 6 IP vs LAD 2 starts back, and 6 ER on 5.2 IP at Arizona 3 starts ago. His 4.58 ERA is right on par with his xERA of 4.4. He's okay and more than hittable.

Both offenses have really struggled of late. Washington's scored 20 runs in their last 6 games and Atlanta 18. Both teams have played 10 games in May. Atlanta's averaging 3 runs per game and Washington's averaging 4 this Month.
