Game Preview
The Nationals are currently in last position in the NL East. Washington fell to the Atlanta Braves this weekend, losing three of four games. The Nationals have now dropped six of their last ten. Joey Meneses and Lane Thomas are the Nationals’ leaders.
The.279 hitter Meneses has hit 13 home runs and driven in 87 runs. Thomas has 27 home runs and 85 RBI, and his batting average is.270. In terms of wins above replacement, C.J. Abrams is the team leader. He’s also stolen 43 bases and hit 18 home runs, with 63 runs batted in. The Nationals have a 5.01 team ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 7.7 K/9 from their starting pitchers.
On the mound for the Nationals will be ace starter Sonny Gray, who thrives in away games. Gray’s 3.06 ERA and.237 opponent batting average when on the road speak for themselves. Gray also has better strikeout and home run prevention numbers while pitching away from home. The Orioles have a solid offense, making this a challenging battle for the righty.
The Orioles are in first place in the American League, and they have already secured a playoff berth. They have won six of their previous ten games and currently hold a 2.5 game lead in the American League East.
The Orioles and the Cleveland Guardians played a four-game series over the weekend and the teams split. With the season ending matchups against the Washington Nationals and the Boston Red Sox, the Orioles have a wonderful opportunity to secure home field advantage for the postseason with a couple more wins.
When pitching at home, Krady Bradish excels. His ERA is 2.57, his opponent’s batting average is.213, and his WHIP is little over 1.00. When pitching at home, Bradish thrives, and the Nationals struggle when on the road. Bradish has a favorable matchup and should capitalize on it. Bradish could easily pitch for six or seven innings here.
