Colorado Rockies vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The Rockies went from being one of the worst teams in baseball history to winning four straight games. It doesn’t change the fact they’re 40 games below a .500 record, but the Rockies have value in the underdog role for a change if they can keep finding ways to win. The Nationals haven’t won since June 6 and Williams is hittable with a 5.71 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. Williams has allowed nine earned runs in his last 14 innings. In 39 home innings, Williams has a 6.23 ERA and .284 allowed batting average. I haven’t done this often this season, but I’m rolling with the Rockies.
