The Washington Nationals look to stay hot as they face the Kansas City Royals on Monday.

Momentum: The Kansas City Royals just snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the Astros that prevented a sweep. The Washington Nationals recorded back-to-back wins over the Seattle Mariners to win that series.

The Matchup: The Royals had won five consecutive games before losing to the Nats 7-8 in their final game last season. Kansas City is 6-4 against Washington in the last 10 head-to-head games.

Starting Pitchers: Royals RHP Mitch Spence (0-0, 13.50 ERA) has pitched to a 9.00 ERA over his last five starts. Meanwhile, Nats lefty Andrew Alvarez has posted a 2.82 ERA over his last five pitching stints.

Key Stats: The Nationals are averaging 7.5 runs per game on a 287 BA over their last five games. The Royals will be needing a stellar game from Mitch Spence and their bullpen to slow down Washington’s offensive juggernaut.

Our Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

Red-hot offense powers the Nationals to a large win over the Royals.

Washington has scored 36 runs in a span of five games, 18 of which came in the last two games against the Mariners.

The Royals are making a gamble by starting a struggling Mitch Spence, who has given up 19 earned runs across his last three starts. Kansas’ bullpen has also been unreliable, with a 5.47 ERA over the last five games.

Andrew Alvarez also poses a big problem for the Royals. Kansas City is averaging 3.5 runs per game against left-handed pitchers this season. Alvarez has not allowed more than two runs in his last three starts.

Our betting prediction for the Washington Nationals vs. the Kansas City Royals: The Nationals -1.5 runs

Prediction:

 

The Nationals -1.5 Runs
