Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Simon Day | in MLB Picks

World Series favourites, the LA Dodgers host the Washington Nationals in the second game of a three game set on Tuesday night. The Nationals sprung a surprise in the first game, emerging as 6-4 winners, however the oddsmakers are heavily backing the Dodgers to level the series. LA are leading the NL West with an 11-8 record, but they have stumbled of late, losing four of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Nationals are fourth in the NL East with a 7-9 record, including two wins in their last three, including that big win over the Dodgers.

There have been 518 previous games between the two franchises, with the Dodgers holding a 305-213 head-to-head advantage. In recent years, the Dodgers have dominated the rivalry, winning 23 of their last 32 games against Washington. It has been ten years since the Nationals have had a single season winning record against LA.

Our Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

However you look at this matchup, the Dodgers are the stronger team. That being said, they are slightly out of form at present, and were well below par in the 6-4 loss to the Nationals. It is hard to know what to expect from Washington, but they showed enough in the first game of the set to suggest that they will give LA a stern test. The oddsmakers are heavily favouring the Dodgers, but we think there is plenty of value in backing the underdogs. As such, our prediction for Dodgers vs Nationals is: Nationals to win, 2.88 at DraftKings.
