Nationals Betting Preview
Washington moved to 13-20 after losing to Arizona. The Nationals nearly pulled it off last night, and they’ll look to avoid the sweep Sunday. The Washington offense is scoring 3.42 runs per game, while batting .252, with a .316 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.36 ERA, with a 1.40 WHIP. Victor Robles has been hitless in Phoenix, but he leads the Nats in batting at .292. Lane Thomas homered last night, and he’s now up to a team-lead 16 RBI.
Trevor Williams (1-1, 3.41 ERA, 21 Ks) is set to start for Washington. The eighth-year pitcher has brought some reliability to the rotation in DC, going at least five full innings in each of his first six starts, while allowing more than three runs just once. Williams struck our four in 5.1 scoreless innings pitched in his start versus the Cubs last week.
Diamondbacks Betting Preview
Arizona comes in at 19-14 after defeating Washington. The Diamondbacks used heroics to take game two last night, and they’ll look to bring the brooms out here. The Arizona offense is scoring 4.13 runs per game, while batting .259, with a .304 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.96 ERA, with a 1.41 WHIP. Corbin Carroll (.320) has recorded a hit in ten straight games, and he leads the DBacks in runs (22). Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has homered in back-to-back appearances, and he recorded four hits in yesterday’s win.
Ryne Nelson (1-2, 6.39 ERA, 19 Ks) will take the mound for Arizona. The sophomore pitcher had a tough time at Coors last week, giving up six runs in just four innings to the Rockies en route to a second straight loss. Nelson has only allowed less than three runs once through six starts.
Washington vs Arizona Trends
Washington is 20-12 against the spread this season, with a 13-17-2 O/U record. Arizona is 18-14 ATS this year, with a 17-13-2 over/under record.
Corey’s Free Pick
Washington got the short end of the stick last night, and with a slight advantage on the mound on Sunday, I think they keep things close again here. Trevor Williams has been the definition of solid pitching this season and if he puts together another out-eating start, the Nats should be within reach. Spot Washington the runs in game three, and back it with the Over in case Arizona bullies their way to another victory.
