April 12 Sports Wager of the Day!

Game: Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves
Sport: Major League Baseball
Pick: Atlanta Braves -1.5, -200

Reason for Pick:
Coming off a dominating performance against the reigning World Series champs, Braves SP Jair Jurrjens takes on the winless Nationals this afternoon.

Jurrjens, who is improving each year, held the Phillies to four hits in a 4-0 shutout. He is 1-1 with a 3.70 ERA against the Nationals.

The Nationals counter with Scott Olsen who was roughed up in his first start against the Florida Marlins as he gave up 8 hits and 8 earned runs in only three innings of work. His control was an issue in that game and the Braves can make him pay if his control issues persist. He is 2-4 with a 6.71 ERA lifetime against the Braves.

The Nationals' Ronnie Belliard (back) and Elijah Dukes (groin) are questionable for today's game.
