The Baltimore Orioles (23-12 SU, 21-14 ATS) conclude their short series against their Beltway rivals, the Washington Nationals (18-17 SU, 22-13 ATS). The Orioles instantly lost some momentum after sweeping Cincinnati by dropping their first game in Washington, which has been surprisingly competitive. The Nationals have gotten themselves above .500 and have won four of their past six series.

Mitchell Parker has been one of the reasons for the Nationals’ success. He’s in his first year on the mound in the majors and has shown he’s ready for this stage. Washington has gotten four solid starts and three wins from Parker, who hasn’t given up more than three runs in a start. He features excellent control and has yet to allow a home run, getting many of his outs on the ground.

Our Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

Baltimore turns to Kyle Bradish, who gave a solid effort against the Yankees in his first trip to the mound of 2024. Bradish had been recovering from UCL surgery, and his early returns appear promising. His return could make a big difference for the Orioles, who spent the first month of the season looking for pitching consistency.

Now they have it, and they’re in a series where runs have been at a premium. Baltimore and Washington seem to have each other figured out pitching wise, as 10 straight meetings have seen the under cash. Usually, it does so pretty comfortably. Eight of the past nine meetings have seen seven runs or fewer cross the plate. With Parker and Bradish both looking sharp, that should continue. Our prediction for Baltimore vs. Washington is Under 8.5 Runs.

Prediction:

 

Under 8.5 Runs
