Series Preview: Astros @ Nationals

The Nationals continue their lengthy homestand with a four game series against the Astros.  Better known as the "Lastros".  Needless to say this is a fantastic opportunity for the Nat's to extend their lead over the rest of the NL East.

• Monday: 7:05pm, Strasburg (1-0) vs Weiland (0-1).

• Tuesday: 7:05pm, Gonzalez (0-0) vs Rodriguez (0-1).

• Wednesday: 7:05pm, Zimmermann (0-1) vs Harrell (1-0). 

• Thursday: 7:05pm, Jackson (1-0) vs Norris (0-0).   

My pick for the game of the series...Is Wednesday.  Zimmermann has pitched great, but is still looking for his first win.  Likewise Harrell, who pitched great his first game before a not so great performance in his second start, will be focused in on trying to get back on track.
