The Cincinnati Reds will go for two in a row against the Washington Nationals on Saturday at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds are 3-2 in their last five games and have won back-to-back games against the St. Louis 9-1 and Washington 6-1. Cincinnati flexed their firepower both on the mound and behind the plate in their last five games, averaging 5.2 runs on a .249 BA and pitching a 3.40 ERA.
The Nationals are 1-4 in their last five assignments, with their only in this stretch coming in the series finale vs. the Phillies 4-2. Washington is averaging 3.6 runs per game in their last five while throwing a horrendous 8.65 ERA.
The Reds will be sending Nick Lodolo (2.10 ERA) to go up against Nats starter Trevor Williams (5.76 ERA).

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Reds take another comfortable win over the Nats.
I don’t see the Reds slowing down. Cincinnati has a chance to earn another comfortable win, covering a -1.5 run spread in the process, with Nick Lodolo set to start this Saturday. Lodolo is coming off a scintillating start vs. the Rockies, blanking Colorado through 7 innings with 9 strikeouts. Trevor Williams, who allowed five runs in a 5-19 loss to the Mets on April 28, has surrendered an average of 4.7 runs per game over his last three starts vs. Cincinnati. Williams cannot allow the Reds to build an early lead since only a few MLB teams can outscore Cincinnati in the end game. The Reds' bullpen is throwing a 2.18 ERA this season. Our betting prediction for the Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals: Reds -1.5 Runs
Prediction:
Reds -1.5 Runs
