Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Washington Nationals Prediction
As per usual, the Dodgers are the heavy favorite in this game; however, the Nationals look to be the best betting option. This is because of the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Most notably, Cavalli has made 13 away starts, in which he has allowed 25 runs (22 earned) over 67.1 innings. Additionally, Cavalli has an ERA of 1.80 in the last 15 days and an ERA of 1.50 in the last 30 days.
Glasnow, on the other hand, has made three home starts, where he has allowed eight earned runs over 17.2 innings. Ultimately, the Dodgers could very well win this game, but with Cavalli on the mound, our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Washington Nationals prediction is: Washington Nationals +1.5.
