Two clubs trying to get back on track this young season square off in the Nation’s Capital on Monday night as the Washington Nationals host the St. Louis Cardinals. Washington is coming off a 3-3 road trip to start the season and dropped two of three in Philadelphia over the weekend including a 17-3 drubbing on Saturday night in which the Phillies scored 12 in the first. St. Louis will hit the road for the first time and are coming off back-to-back series losses at home to NL Central rivals the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. St. Louis was shut out twice by the Reds, including 8-0 in Sunday’s series finale. No one in the Cardinals’ starting lineup ended the game with a batting average over .300, and the club has recorded just 11 extra-base hits through six games. The Nationals have fared better at the plate but struck out 33 times in three games against the Phillies and the bullpen has allowed 17 earned runs in 20.1 innings. St. Louis relievers are not faring much better, allowing six home runs in the first six games, with closer Seung Hwan Oh surrendering two of those.
Pitchers: Cardinals – Adam Wainwright (0-1, 3.60 ERA) | Nationals – Tanner Roark (1-0, 3.00)
Adam Wainwright will get his second chance this season after losing his first start despite a solid effort. Wainwright allowed two runs and three hits over five innings and struck out six and allowed only one extra-base hit. Wainwright is 8-3 with a 2.99 ERA in 14 career games (12 starts) against the Nationals, winning the last four while last losing in 2012. Washington 2B Daniel Murphy (8-for-17) and OF Bryce Harper (7-for-18, home run) have had success against Wainwright.
Tanner Roark was superb in his season debut, limiting Miami to two runs and three hits over six innings with six strikeouts. Roark retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced and gave up just one extra-base hit. He is 0-1 with a 5.14 ERA in three outings versus the Cardinals, but his only start against them came in 2013.

St. Louis’ offense is really bad right now and they’re going up against a very underrated pitcher in Roark. Washington’s two best hitters have hurt Wainwright in the past and I see them doing it again tonight.
Pick: Nationals -125
