The Los Angeles Angels are wrapping up a long road trip by facing the Washington Nationals for the final 3 games. This will be the long meeting between the teams this season.
Washington is mired in a 7-game losing streak and has virtually no shot at the postseason. They are coming off being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres. Both teams are likely headed to the playoffs and were able to pick on a Nationals team that is seemingly checked out. Tonight, Cade Cavalli will be their starter. That is good news for the Washington faithful as he is 12-5 on the season and carries a good 3.12 ERA. He will be tasked with helping the Nationals snap this 7-game skid.
The Angels are an ugly 34-games under .500 and have no chance at playing in the playoffs once again. They are coming off back-to-back wins over the Red Sox in their last games of that series. However, they have lost 12 of their last 16 and are likely due for a dud here against the Nationals. Yusei Kikuchi will start for the Angels and is coming off his best start of the season. He went 6 innings of shutout work against the Pirates and picked up his 1st win of the season.

Our Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction
Kikuchi was stellar in his last start, but we believe that was a fluke. Prior to that game, he had been 0-5 on the season and with those 6-shutout innings, he still is carrying a hefty 4.96 ERA. We like the Nationals to finally bust out of their losing streak and pick up the win here over the Angels. Cavalli should continue his strong pitching and put these Nationals in a good spot tonight.
