The Nationals' bats performed well in their series against the Reds, which began Monday in the U.S. capital. Monday's game was a true offensive duel, with Reds starter Singer only recording seven outs and Nats starter Irving not pitching in the fourth inning. The Nationals led 7-0 in the third inning of Game 1, a lead the Reds couldn't overcome, despite leading 7-6 by the fifth inning. The Nats brought in closer Finnegan for Game 1, who allowed two runs, but the Nats ultimately won that game 10-8.

Bell homered in Game 1 and also in Game 2, his 12th and 13th of the season; The Nats also took Game 2 of the series thanks to Brad Lord's four-inning dominance, followed by a very strong performance, a rare appearance from the bullpen.

The Nationals then won Games 1 and 2 in the capital against the Reds as betting underdogs and will look to complete the sweep on Wednesday, although sportsbooks insist on setting the Reds as heavy favorites, at -145 for Game 3.

Cincinnati Reds - Washington Nationals Key Points

  1. 21-30 Nationals record at National Park
  2. 22-21 Reds record playing during daytime this season
  3. 6-14: Nationals record against Central Division opponents
  4. Nationals' collective pitching ERA is second-worst in MLB at 5.25

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The scheduled pitching duel for Game 3 will be between Lodolo for the Reds, with a 7-6 record and a 3.33 ERA, and Soroka for the Nationals, with a 3-7 record and a 5.10 ERA. It would be a tremendous waste of opportunity for the Reds to get swept by the Nationals, who haven't swept a team since May 16 against the Orioles. Lodolo has pitched at least six innings in his last three starts; two of them came against the Mets and the Phillies. Our prediction for Reds vs Nationals is: Reds ML.
