Baltimore Orioles vs. Washington Nationals Prediction
I’m on the Nationals here. I get the case to be made for the Orioles, as this is still a loaded lineup. However, while I normally don’t back teams off of a Coors Field series, the Nationals had a day off to reacclimate, and I like what Mitchell Parker’s brought to the table so far this season. I haven’t been a fan of Dean Kremer so far this year, and I think that the Nationals get to him and get the win here. Give me Washington.
