Slow Start for the Nationals

It has been a slow start for the Nationals, and they have only won one game this season. On Monday, the offense only put up two points, and they lost by three. CJ Abrams and James Wood scored the two runs on two home runs, which makes the lack of scoring even more of a concern. This team needs to do a better job of manufacturing runs if they want to come out on top in this game. Michael Soroka got the start, and he went five innings, giving up five hits and four runs. On Sunday, against the Philadelphia Phillies, they were able to pick up a 5-1 victory. 

Trevor Williams will be on the mound for the Nationals, and this will be his first game of the season. Last season with the Nationals, he made 13 appearances and finished with a 6-1 record and an ERA of 2.03. The way he pitched wasn’t talked about enough. The Nats will take on the Diamondbacks after this series.

Why the Nationals Will Beat the Blue Jays

• The Blue Jays have lost four of their last five games as home favorites against NL East opponents.
• The Nationals have won three of their last four games as road underdogs against American League opponents following a loss.
• The Nationals have covered the run line in each of their last eight Tuesday games against AL East opponents.
• The Blue Jays have failed to cover the run line in 11 of their last 13 night games following a home win.

Another Fast Start for the Blue Jays

When the Blue Jays have found success this season, the offense has gotten out to a fast start, and it was no different on Monday. The Blue Jays scored four runs in the first four innings, and that was the difference in the game. It was a balanced attack, but Andres Giminez did hit a home run. Bowden Francis was on the mound, and he went six innings, giving up two hits and two runs. Giminez has hit three home runs and driven in five RBIs. Jose Berrios is going to get the start for the Blue Jays, and Toronto needs him to be better. He looked so bad in the first game, there is no other way to really put it. Against the Baltimore Orioles, he went five innings, giving up nine hits and six runs. The Blue Jays will play against the Mets following this series.

Washington Nationals vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays won on Monday, but this game isn’t going to be as successful. Berrios looked awful in the first game, and although he might be a little better here, he’s going to be near perfect to get the win. Trevor Williams might be the best pitcher that the Nationals have; don’t be fooled that he’s going to be making his first start of the season. Williams was dominant last season, and the last start of last season he went five innings giving up zero runs. I expect a similar outing here, and it will be the Nationals that end up picking up a victory.
