The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the Washington Nationals in the second of a three-game set on Saturday. The Dodgers won the first game 1-0 on Friday.
Los Angeles celebrated their 2020 World Series before Friday’s game, and capped the ceremony off with a win. Walker Buehler got the win after pitching 6 shutout innings, allowing 6 hits with 4 strikeouts. Justin Turner hit a home run in the 6th inning for the games only run. It was his second of the year, and he finished the game 3-3. Other than Turner the Dodgers only managed 1 hit and were 0-1 with runners in scoring position. To start the season, the Dodgers have a .295 team batting average, 2nd best in the majors. Justin Turner leads the team with a .414 batting average, 2 home runs and 8 RBI.
Starting for the Dodgers on Saturday will be lefty Julio Urias. In his first start he went 7 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits with 6 strikeouts. In his career against this Nationals lineup he has allowed a .422 team batting average with 1 home run in 25 at bats.
Washington has now dropped three straight after getting shutout Friday. The Nationals did a great job limiting a potent Dodgers offense to just 4 hits but could not convert from the plate. They had 8 hits in the game but were just 1-5 with runners in scoring position and stuck out 10 times. Through their first four games the Nationals have a .248 team batting average and 12 runs scored. Jonathan Lucroy leads the team with a .400 batting average.
Washington has not released a starter for this game. In 12.1 innings this season the Nationals bullpen has a 3.65 team ERA with 2 home runs allowed.
The Nationals are 5-5 in their last 10, 6-4 on the run line, and the over is 6-3-1.
The Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10, 5-5 on the run line, and the under is 6-4.
Despite their poor performance from the plate last time out, the Dodgers are the much better offense in this one. On the mound they have Julio Urias going, who was solid in his first start. Without knowing who the Nationals will be starting makes them tough to back. Give me the Dodgers to win.
