Atlanta face Washington tonight hoping for revenge for their recent defeat

The weakness of the Atlanta Braves has been visible in the past few days, with the leaders in the NL East suffering 2 defeats in a row.  The losses have been to lowly Washington and mediocre Florida and the Braves, despite playing .576 baseball so far this year, are not a strong team on the road.

Tim Hudson and his 2.47 ERA will be on the mound for Atlanta to try and right the ship but Washington have a reasonable counter as right-hander Livan Hernandez is the expected starter and his ERA is 3.12.

Washington are only playing .430 baseball on the year but at home it's been a different story.  They have a respectable 26-21 record when playing on their home diamond and they could give the Braves problems tonight.

Bet365 have Washington at +134 and there is value with that line as this game looks like it could be much tighter than what those odds imply.
