The Nationals and Braves resume their four-game series later this afternoon, with Stephen Strasburg on the mound for his final start of the season's first half. Strasburg is headed to the All-Star Game after this, but it'll be interesting to see if he ends up pitching Tuesday night in Miami on only two days' rest. It may depend on how far he goes today.

Julio Teheran starts for the Braves, and that typically has been good news for the Nationals (who have had a lot of success against him) and specifically for Bryce Harper (who absolutely owns the right-hander).

The weather looks good (for now), so hopefully this game goes off without a hitch as planned.
