Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
I'm not running to the window to get behind Ryne Nelson at this price, especially with his struggles at home. However, we've been fading Patrick Corbin for years and that's not going to stop now. Corbin has been one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball over the last 5 years or so. Also, the Nationals are starting to sell and wave the white flag, while the Diamondbacks are buyers and oozing with confidence. Last night's win only improves things. Give me the Diamondbacks and the somewhat reasonable price.
