Arizona Diamondbacks vs Washington Nationals 4/19/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
GAME 1
The Arizona Diamondbacks will meet with the Washington Nationals in MLB Game 1 action in Nationals Park, Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at 1:05 PM (EDT).
Six of the Diamondbacks’ first nine matches ended in losses, with a run differential of minus 20. During a 5-0 road defeat to New York on Sunday, Arizona finished 1-for-9 with men in scoring position and left 9 men on base.
Madison Bumgarner who is 0-0, has a 2.25 ERA, and is a four-time All-Star, is still pitching well at the age of 32. Bumgarner’s profile alone will attract some wagering interest, and he’s had a good year so far in 2022. Bumgarner’s previous start, a 2-1 home defeat to Houston, saw him give up one run in 5 innings.
- Arizona is 1-6 SU in their last 7 matches on the road.
- The Arizona Diamondbacks are 2-6 SU in their previous 8 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 7 of Arizona’s last 9 matches this season.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Washington Nationals Predictions 4/19/2022
The Nationals lost three of their first four home matches and are currently in the last position in the National League East Division. In a 5-3 road defeat to Pittsburgh on Sunday, Washington made three mistakes and left ten men on base.
Outfielder Victor Robles’ two-run single in the second inning gave the Nationals (4-7) a 3-0 lead. In the series opener, the Nationals will go with young right-hander Josiah Gray (1-1, 4.00 ERA). Gray only surrendered one home run in nine innings this season and struck out ten batters.
Because they have a few top batters in the lineup, the Nationals are always a danger to scoring. Juan Soto is the front-runner to win the National League MVP award, and he is accompanied by Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz, who combined for 10 RBIs so far this season.
Without the capability to strike out batters, the Nationals will find a way to get the ball in play and score some runs, especially with Soto in the middle of the lineup.
- The Washington Nationals are 5-15 SU in their last 20 matches.
- The total went OVER in 7 of Washington’s last 10 matches played on a Tuesday.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Washington’s last 5 matches in the National League West Division.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Washington Nationals. The MLB pick for this game is the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both offenses struggled to start the season, placing in the bottom ten in on-base percentage. However, I feel that each squad will have a successful night at the bat.
Yes, I know the D-Backs are hitting .152, but I can’t trust this Nationals pitching rotation, which has the 4th worst bullpen ERA (5.16 ERA) in the league, to hold any lineup down. Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) of the Washington Nationals is on the 10-day disabled list and is expected to return next month.
Arizona is 29th in OPS and 29th in runs produced through nine matches. Washington is currently ranked 23rd in OPS and 10th in runs scored for the season. On the road, pick the Diamondbacks. The Arizona Diamondbacks will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
