In the US capital, in the weekend series, the Nationals pitchers couldn't hold off the Padres' bats and lost the series when they lost both Friday and Sunday, allowing grand slams in both. The Nationals, no longer managed by Dave Martinez, then face another series at Nationals Park starting Monday, this time against the Reds.

The Nats and Reds already faced each other in early May at Great American Ball Park; that was a series the Nationals won two games to one, earning betting sites odds of +164 for their 6-11 victory in Game 2.

Monday's game will have the Reds as heavy betting favorites, even as visitors. Brady Singer, who with a 7-7 record found tremendous consistency in June and July, will pitch again for the Reds. On average, Singer pitched almost always between 5 and 6 innings in his last 5 starts, but he had two 9-strikeout outings in that span, one against the Yankees and the other against the Rockies, his most recent.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals Prediction

Irving will be pitching for the Nationals on Monday. Irving pitched more than twice as many innings as Singer did in 2025, but Irving has a worse ERA than the Reds', at 4.58. Irving allowed three runs, all unearned, in his last outing against the Brewers on July 13. At least in his last 3 starts, Irving almost always sailed to 6 innings without allowing more than 4 ER. Our prediction for Nationals vs Reds is: Under 9.5 runs.
