Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Orioles should have the edge on paper because they’re at home and Young has been strong this season with a 3.07 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 67.1 innings. However, the value is with the Nationals, and the plus money is there as they continue to win and profit enough to earn our attention. Also, Griffin has held his own as well with a 3.15 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 91.1 innings. Griffin has allowed 18 hits and 4 runs in his last 24.1 innings. Should be a good game between two in-form arms, but I’ll take the slightly more favorable price. Give me the Nationals.
