Washington Nationals vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Nationals have had issues stringing together wins, and Williams hasn’t been good this season, with his 5.54 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. In 30.1 road innings, Williams has a 5.04 ERA and .304 allowed batting average. This talented Padres’ offense should be drooling about this matchup. Bergert has been fabulous as a rookie, allowing 14 hits and five runs in 24 innings. All but one of those innings have come on the road, so he should be thrilled about a home start. This is a spot where the Padres should win with a comfortable edge on the mound. I’ll side with the home team.
