Los Angeles Angels vs Washington Nationals Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/28/25, 5:54 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/24/25 at 10:56 PM in MLB Picks

On Saturday, the second game of the series will be played between the Nationals and Angels in Los Angeles. Just as the series between these two teams was in 2024, their next matchup in 2025 was a hitting fest, at least in Game 1. It all started with a 2-run home run by Bell in the second inning, and the Los Angeles Angels responded with home runs by Jo Adell, Schanuel, and Taylor Ward. Between the two teams, they reached almost a 50-base game total in a game that betting sites stipulated a Game Total line of 8.5 runs.

Neither Irving nor Soriano, the Game 1 starters for each team, could even extend their outing into the fifth inning. The Nats' offensive slump during their 10-game losing streak is undoubtedly behind them, while the Angels' lineup remains competitive in their division thanks to their power; they are fourth in MLB in home runs by 2025.
