Our Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
Bookmakers are favoring Baltimore to cause an upset at -145 odds. The O’s took their last two matches against the Nats, including a commanding 8-1 win on the road. They boast enough power hitters within their ranks, who should trouble the inconsistent Zack Littell. He will undoubtedly be Washington’s main weakness, coming into this contest with a 1-4 record and a 6.94 ERA. Zack is being outperformed by Baltimore’s Shane Baz, who also has a 1-4 record, although with a slightly better ERA of 5.48. With such numbers in mind, we expect a high-scoring game, with the hosts likely to maintain their offensive momentum at Nationals Park.
Our prediction for Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles: Washington Nationals to score over 3.5 runs.
