Max Fried has been outstanding at SunTrust Park this season. In five home starts this season, the left-hander is 3-1 and has conceded just seven runs in 30.1 innings.

Fried has also been remarkably consistent at staying in the game, as he’s made it into the sixth inning in seven of 10 appearances. 5Dimes Sportsbook using their dime line, has both the Nationals and Braves at -105. DJ gives his pick!
