Key Stats
Washington Nationals
Over the last ten games, the Washington Nationals have a record of 5-5, and they are 2-4 in their last six. The Nats will have Mitchell Parker on the mound for today’s game. With a record of 5-6 on the season, he is looking to bounce back from his previous two games. In his last performance, he went three innings and gave up seven hits with six earned runs. His prior start went even worse. He went two-thirds of an inning, giving up three hits, five earned runs, and two walks.
Nationals are Hot
The Nationals won their last series and did it convincingly with a run differential of 27-15. For an offense that has been in the bottom 11 in the MLB in many categories, it will be tough as they go against Jordan Montgomery today. Their batters have a .240 batting average, which is right at their season average. With the Nats trading away Jesse Winker, their offense will take a dip, and it will be on the shoulders of CJ Abrams, their leader in home runs (15), RBIs (51), and hits (100).
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks will send out Jordan Montgomery to face a lineup he has dominated in a limited sample size. He has held batters to a BA of .152, 7/46 overall, with 12 Ks and no home runs allowed. In his last start, he went five innings with only two Ks, but he was pulled after 67 pitches, which was his third-lowest pitch count all season. The lefty is primed to build on his last outing.
To slide over to the offensive side of the diamond, the DBacks have been a top-10 offense in many categories this season. They are third in the MLB in total runs scored and are led by Ketel Marte, who leads the team in batting average (.296), home runs (23), OBP (.365), and hits (115) among all qualified batters on the team. They are also bottom six in the MLB when it comes to chase % and bottom seven in hitter strikeouts, which means quality at-bats to take advantage of the Nationals’ pitchers and drive the pitch counts up.
Prediction
I predict that the Arizona Diamondbacks will beat the Washington Nationals easily. I think the DBacks are primed to stretch together some solid baseball. Before losing their last game to the Pittsburgh Pirates, they had won four in a row, including back-to-back games against the Kansas City Royals. With Montgomery on the mound and the DBacks using five bullpen arms yesterday, I am looking for Montgomery to go at least 6 innings, maybe 7, and pitch exceptionally against a bottom-ten offense in the Nationals.
Final Pick
Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 (+122)
