The Washington Nationals will put their 3-game winning streak on the line on Tuesday when open their three-game series with the visiting Atlanta Braves at Nationals Park.

The Nationals have found success in their 5 games, where they have gone 4-1 – including a 3-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend. Despite pitching a 5.21 ERA this season, Washington managed to beat their recent foes with a livelier offense that has generated 6.2 runs per game on a .272 BA over their last 5 assignments.

The Braves now boasts a winning record of 24-23 after capturing 3 wins in their last 4 games. Atlanta has also taken their offense a notch higher this past week, averaging 5.9 runs per game on a .306 BA over a five-game stretch. After a slow start to their 2025 MLB campaign, the Braves (24-23) are just five games behind the NL East leaders, the Philadelphia Phillies (29-18), in the division standings.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Washington Nationals Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Road warriors Braves ends Nats’ win streak

The Braves and the Nationals are both averaging at least 5.0 runs per game over their last 5 games. Atlanta will be starting Spencer Strider, who allowed 2 earned runs in 5.0 innings in his season debut last April 16. On the other hand, Mitchell Parker has surrendered a total of 20 runs over their last four games or an average of 5.0 conceded runs per game. Parker cannot afford to allow the Braves to find their groove behind the plate because this team’s offense can take off quickly. I am still unsure if the Braves can get a solid mound appearance from Strider, who will be making his second start this season. Still, I am confident that Atlanta can carry their high-octane offense on the road. Atlanta is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games against Washington, covering the spread in 4 of those wins.

Our betting prediction for the Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves: the Braves -1.5 runs.

Prediction:

 

Braves -1.5 Runs

-115
