Braves vs. Nationals prediction: Max Fried will propel Atlanta

More gifts from China. A 22-ton out-of-control Chinese rocket is tumbling back to Earth and should land somewhere, anywhere later this week. The unmanned torpedo, orbiting at 17,000 mph, has a 71 percent chance of landing harmlessly in the ocean and a 50/50 chance of destroying the roof at Casa de Stitches. So from China with Love, Happy Asian Pacific Heritage Month!

The NL East is quickly turning into the NFC East. The struggling Braves visit Washington where they will be glad to see Erick Fedde. Solid starter has held up his end of the rotation, going 2-2 this season but is a career 0-2 against Atlanta, 14.06 ERA. Max Fried returns to the Braves rotation after being out three weeks due to a strained right hamstring. After going 24-6 the last two years Fried is 0-1, with a 11.45 ERA making three starts prior to the fried hammy. Looking for Max to return to form and fry the Nats. 20 units on the Bravos.


Yanks beat the buzzer-beating Asterisks 7-3. Alex Bregman’s three-run throwing error knocked us, as well as the colliding Martin Maldonado and Rougned Odor out of the game. Loss leaves us at -1,177 chimichangas.
