The Washington Nationals will march into the middle game of their series with the Cincinnati Reds with their eyes locked in on claiming their fourth win in five games. The Nationals will attempt to keep their winning form going after posting an 8-5 win over the Reds in their first game post-All-Star break. Washington is batting .263 with 4.7 runs per game over their last 10 assignments. The Nationals could have won more games had they not allowed a 5.86 ERA during this 10-game stretch. At 45-53, Washington still has a lot of grounds to cover to close the gap between them and the NL East leader, the Philadelphia Phillies (62-35). After finishing the first half of the season on a high note, the Reds dropped to 47-51 this season following Friday’s loss to the Nats. Cincinnati won five of their last seven games just before the All-Star break. The Reds are averaging 6.2 runs per game on a .263 batting average over their last 10 matches while posting a 4.04 ERA.

Our Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

The Reds are 4-1 in their previous five away games against the Nationals. While Cincinnati's projected starter, Nick Lodolo (LHP), has been in a pitching slump recently, allowing 4.8 hits and 2.6 earned runs per game in his last five starts, I expect him to perform much better against the Nationals, who are batting just .230 with 2.3 runs in their last ten games against a lefty pitcher. Furthermore, Cincinnati will most likely maintain their excellent form at the plate in this game after batting.268 and scoring nearly seven runs per game in their last five games. Our betting prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals: Reds to cover -1.5 runs, +138, at FanDuel.

Prediction:

 

Reds will cover -1.5 runs.
