Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham have played well above average for the Nationals so far this season, as Dunn is one of the top home run hitters in all of baseball and Willingham is enjoying one of his best seasons as a Major Leaguer. Crisitian Guzman currently leads the team in batting average with a .294 average and is looking at finally maximizing the enormous potential that he was once thought to possess. Livan Hernandez had an amazing first half to his season, but he currently is in a slump that is making his numbers seem a little worse than they probably should be. The real story, however, has been how quickly Stephen Strasburg has adapted to Major League hitters. It is interesting to see Strasburg continue to progress against some of baseball's top sluggers. Against Cincinnati, however, there is just too much talent to overcome, which is why the Reds are the free wager selection for Wednesday night.

The Cincinnati Reds have gotten some phenomenal play out of All-Star Joey Votto, who currently sits with 22 HRs. Brandon Phillips and Scott Rolen are fellow All-Stars, and all three have played a major role in getting the Reds to their current place atop the National League Central. Phillips is currently hitting .300 and has his home run total in double digits while Rolen has hit 17 HR and driven in 57 RBI. As far as pitching is concerned, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, and Bronson Arroyo have all been instrumental in the success that Cincinnati has enjoyed up to this point. Some of the best pitching, however, has come from the bullpen where players like Arthur Rhodes have certainly provided the support that the starting staff needs to recognize victories. It will be another victorious day on Wednesday night, as the Reds are picked to be the free bet victors over the Washington Nationals.

If you have a free wager on this game, it might be tempting to take the underdog Washington Nationals because they are getting such a good price, but there is a reason for that. Cincinnati is far and away the better team in this matchup, and it is expected that they will just take one more step towards this year's MLB Playoffs. It will be an interesting game to watch, and you can imagine that there is going to be a lot of interest being projected on this game. It is the opinion of betsfreebets.com that the Cincinnati Reds are the team to play in this game against the Washington Nationals.
