Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Nationals have won their last four meetings against the Dbacks, but the Dbacks have won their previous five meetings before that. The Dbacks are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Arizona, and over is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings.

In this Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -245 home favorites. The Nationals have a better record than the Dbacks at this point, and they are playing far better baseball, with four straight wins, while the Dbacks are on a free fall, with just one win in their last 10 games. But this time, the Dbacks have a huge pitching advantage, as Corbin Burnes is facing Mitchell Parker.

I trust Burnes, but I don’t trust the rest of the struggling Dbacks team at this point, so I will take a pass on the side. Parker has been terrible for the Nats and he will surely allow a lot of runs. Nationals bats have been on fire lately, with 9+ runs in four straight games, and both games of this series had 16 and 18 total runs, so I see them getting at least to 9 today. Take the over 9 runs.
