Sale (5-5. 2.35 ERA) missed roughly half of the season with an injury but has looked just as sharp as he did in his Cy Young Award campaign last year. Gore (5-14, 4.00 ERA) has been better than his record indicates, but Washington has one of the worst offenses in baseball.

Sale’s strikeout total is set at 8.5 (Over -132, Under +100) at FanDuel Sportsbook, while Gore is set at 4.5 (Over -136, Under +102). The SportsLine Projection Model rates both Sale’s Under and Gore’s Over 5 stars out of a possible 5, as it projects 7.1 punchouts for Sale and 6.1 for Gore.

Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. is the +400 favorite to hit a home run at FanDuel. He’s followed by Matt Olson (+430), Jurickson Profar (+560), Marcell Ozuna (+560), Ozzie Albies (+600) and Josh Bell (+630).
