Nationals vs Rangers Prediction

I’m not a fan of bullpen games due to the number of pitchers you need to get you over the edge, so I’m not thrilled to see Latz in the lineup for the Rangers. The Rangers also haven’t won two straight games since May 15. However, Williams has been a disaster for the Nationals with his 6.03 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, and he’s even worse at home, where he has a 7.06 ERA and .281 allowed batting average. We’re getting a reasonable price with the Rangers to fade the Nationals more than anything. So, if forced to pick, give me the Rangers on the road.
