Went back and forth with this and PIT ML but like this a little more. Ashcraft has gotten lit up a few times here recently and with this WSH lineup he could be in for a fight. PIT ranks second in wRC+ against RHP and Littell is a prime candidate to get destroyed and even if he doesn’t the WSH bullpen can always implode to help this
