Atlanta Braves vs Washington Nationals Predictions 7/17/2022

On Friday, the Washington Nationals fell for the 13th time in their previous 14 games, making it their eighth straight loss overall.

The fact that five of the previous 9 losses were only by one run is a silver lining. Because there are contenders who might utilize the services of Josh Bell (13 HR, 48 RBI) and Nelson Cruz, expect the Nationals to be sellers at the trade deadline (8 HR, 48 RBI).

Juan Soto (19 HR, 42 RBI) could potentially be available right now. The second half of the season in the nation’s capital may even be worse if that takes place.

The Nationals now have the fourth-worst record in MLB overall and are 14-35 at home this year. With a team batting average of.249, they are seventh in MLB, but they are 27th in terms of scoring 3.8 runs per game and hitting 72 home runs.

They rank 30th on the field with -42 defensive runs saved for the year. The pitching staff’s 5.13 ERA and 1.47 WHIP place it in 29th place.

The Nationals are 0-9 SU in their previous 9 matches.
The total went OVER in 12 of Washington’s last 17 matches against Atlanta.
Washington is 0-10 SU in their last 10 matches at home.

Atlanta Braves vs Washington Nationals. The MLB pick for this game is the Atlanta Braves. I don’t care who the Nationals open with on Sunday because I don’t know.

Since Washington is just 13-44 in their previous 57 matches versus teams with winning records, this club is a fad until they start winning again (since they can’t keep losing forever).

Washington’s pitching and defense are both atrocious, and its top offensive talent doesn’t even want to sign a $440 million contract.

In addition, Spencer Strider, who made four appearances with an ERA of 0.79, will be beginning for them. For the Braves to defeat the Nationals, take the runline. The Atlanta Braves will win to a predicted score of 5-1.
