MLB odds: Braves vs. Nationals doubleheader predictions, odds, picks, and more

Washington Nationals will host the Atlanta Braves in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday. The Nationals took the series opener 6-5 on a walk-off home run from Juan Soto. Atlanta will send out Max Fried and Washington will give the ball to Erick Fedde in Game 2.

Atlanta Braves are -1.5 points to Washington Nationals -117.

Max Fried will start for the Braves in game one of the doubleheader against Eric Fedde. Fried was effective in his debut against the Philadelphia Phillies, holding them to two runs in five innings. Ronald Acuna Jr. hit two home runs against Washington last year. The Braves were swept by the Phillies in the opening series.

Washington Nationals are the first team to be hit by COVID in 2021. Their opening series against the Mets was postponed. Monday's game against Atlanta Braves was also postponed, so they will play the game on the back end of today's double-header. Eric Fedde will start for Washington. Juan Soto hit a walk-off homer for the Nats in their season opener last night.

The Braves are struggling to start the season. They are playing against the team that's expected to finish last in the division. Atlanta will come out aggressive in first game of the double-header and look to knock out Eric Fedde early. The Braves play with an added confidence with Fried on the bump as they've gone 5-0 in his last five road starts.
