Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks should be favored as they’re the more talented team at home. However, the Diamondbacks have won one game since May 20, and Pfaadt hasn’t been great lately, allowing 27 hits and 16 earned runs in his last 26.2 innings. Pfaadt has given up four homers in his last 11.2 innings. Soroka has had struggles as well, allowing 21 hits and 12 runs in his last 20.2 innings. Still, the Nationals have won nine of their last 12 games. With both pitchers riding the struggle bus, give me the hotter team and a chance to make nearly two times my money.
